Although these old gentlemen are upright, they know in their hearts that Wang Zi'an said this just to find a reason to give the villa to old guys like him half-sold and half free.
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Wang Zi'an put away the smile on his face and said seriously.
"Actually, the reason why I want to invite a few gentlemen to live there is actually hidden in my selfish motives. I want to be like the Jixia Academy in the past and open another academy by the Qujiang Pond to gather hundreds of schools of thought and not become one family."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an looked around at everyone.
"Gentlemen and elders, do you still remember our long-cherished wish..."
Kong Yingda and others:......
Ah, what are our long-cherished wishes?
Before they could react, Wang Zi'an already had a generous look on his face.
"Adhering to the aspirations of the sages of the past dynasties, establishing a mind for the heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the living and the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints, and creating peace for all generations. Isn't this the ambition of all the elders? I invite you to come here just to facilitate you to preach the scriptures.
, to realize my life’s ambition…”
"Snapped!"
Before Kong Yingda and others could say anything, Mr. Song Zai, whose beard and hair were all white, had already slapped the case with his face flushed.
"Marquis of Chang'an, needless to say, I have bought this house!"
After saying that, he said excitedly.
"I knew it, I knew it, how could a person as aloof as little friend Zian, who is like an immortal, be so interested in such a small profit? Sure enough, he has a more profound intention..."
He somewhat forgetfully stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zi'an's big hand.
"Little friend Zian, if you don't dislike me, I, Song Zai, am willing to pursue Jiwei and do my best to help you!"
Not to mention Mr. Song Zai, who had been immersed in learning all his life, even Kong Yingda and others could not help but be moved.
Comparable to Jixia Academy!
With Zian's strength, connections and knowledge, if he really allowed him to gather top scholars from all over the world, he might be able to recreate the grand occasion of Jixia Academy in the past.
"In this case, I am also willing to participate in this grand event!"
Kong Yingda made a decision in an instant. If this matter was really done, this would be his only chance to be on par with his ancestors. Having said this, he handed it over solemnly.
"However, I have a small family fortune, and I am willing to buy the house with all the money. This can be regarded as a small contribution to my Jixia Academy in the Tang Dynasty."
"Of course, so is I!"
"And I, too!"
"..."
Wang Zi’an:……
The old gentlemen were upright and enthusiastic, and in the end Wang Zi'an had to compromise. He had no choice but to accept the wishes of these old gentlemen. He was worried that these old gentlemen would soon become red-eyed and forcefully donate money.
In fact, he didn't want to either.
But what else can be done? It’s very difficult for him.
Exited the gate of the Imperial College.
Di Renjie lowered his head and walked for a while, then raised his head and looked at his master.
"Master, this is what you said, can a gentleman be deceived?"
Wang Zi’an:……
"Cough cough cough——"
He almost became angry.
"What kind of gentleman can bully someone? Master, is that called bullying? Master has the same interests as them, is brilliant, has noble ideals and pursuits..."
When Di Renjie heard this, he pursed his lips.
In an imperceptible voice, he muttered to himself.
"In the final analysis, it's not just selling someone else and having them willingly count the money for you..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Suddenly I felt regretful and took this bitch out.
"Master often warns us that those who don't plan for the eternal world can't plan for a while; those who don't plan for the overall situation can't plan for a region. Junior brother, you have been with Master for so long, have you only learned this little cleverness and only focused on a few people?
Down to the smallest details?”
Before Wang Zi'an could react, Wu Zetian slapped Di Renjie on the back of the head.
"Let me ask you, you have always been with the master. You should know that the master has really spent his own money to rebuild the slums in the south of the city. Has the master really planned to open a new school and build a large academic palace in the south of the city?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Di Renjie on the back of the head again.
"You are here today. You should know that Master made some dirty money from those old gentlemen in those houses. Could Master put the money into his own pocket?"
Di Renjie was slapped twice, and he was still a little unconvinced at first, but when Wu Zetian asked him about it, he couldn't help being stunned, with a look of shame on his face. He walked around in front of Wang Zi'an, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed a few times.
Ring your head.
"Master, this disciple is wrong. You should not judge a gentleman with a villain's heart..."
Seeing him admitting his mistake, Wu Zetian snorted softly.
"Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Master has a compassionate heart and a broad vision, which is beyond your reach. Xiaojie, your view of the overall situation needs to be strengthened. From now on, follow Master well, learn more, listen more, see more, and think more.
Slowly you will understand what kind of master Master is..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, this——
Did I really think so carefully at the time?
When Wu Zetian said this, he didn't even know whether Wu Zetian conquered him or whether he was conquered by Wu Zetian.
This little girl——
He suddenly felt a little unsure.
This feeling is very dangerous.
…
In the past few days, I don’t know if this little girl Wu Zetian did it on purpose. In the name of taking care of her master and doing things for her master, she followed Wang Zi’an like a follower. Wherever she went, she followed him wherever she went.
Although An went to Qujiang Pool a few more times, he never got another chance to be alone with Miss Kong Ling'er.
So, life was as ordinary as water.
But the entire city of Chang'an became turbulent because of Wang Zi'an's small actions. Chang'an South City has never attracted the attention of thousands of people as it does now.
First of all, after Datang Evening News published the news of the pre-sale villa, many people rushed to the scene and wanted to be the first to book the next unit.
But he was informed very politely by the steward of Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
Sorry, all villas have been booked!
The dignitaries who rushed to book the villa were stunned.
What kind of magical speed is this.
Sold out the moment it went on sale!
There are no stupid people who can live in Chang'an and think they have the strength to buy a valuable villa. Although they don't know the concept of hunger marketing, they immediately suspect that there is something fishy in it.
As a result, many people began to use their connections to find out who these villas were sold to.
There is no airtight wall in the world. As time goes by, news will soon leak out.
Kong Yingda, who was forbidden to drink wine in the Imperial Academy, Li Gang, the prince's junior teacher, Yu Zhining, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, Zhang Ruosu, the prince's minister, Lu Deming, a master of classics, and Song Zai, the master of exegesis...
Each and every one of them is today's scholarly figure, the most elite figure in the world!
This group of people may not have high titles and may not have much real power in their hands.
But he is expected to be a noble gentleman with top moral knowledge and high moral standing among the scholars all over the world!
