With the coming of winter, the construction of Louguan Academy has also come to an end, and the projects everywhere are being completed. The playground still needs to be leveled and compacted, the exterior walls of the classrooms need to be painted white, and carpenters are installing doors and windows. The woodwork of the dormitory buildings
The canopy bed is being moved and assembled, and the custom-made bedding has been requested three times. The pot stove in the cafeteria was designed by Su Ren himself. The huge iron pot will heat up quickly under the fire, which is much easier to use than the original copper tripod.
.
The most important and first built library was the top priority. Relying on the favor of Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang, and with the help of Dou Ying, Taishi Ling reluctantly agreed to move out the bamboo slips buried in the warehouse that were almost falling apart.
After drying, Dahan Newspaper's workshop was used for printing. The beautiful books were transformed from bamboo slips into books and then put into the library for the students studying here to read.
In order to ensure that Louguan Academy can successfully recruit students, the emperor took great pains and sent someone to deliver the plaque made last month. The six gleaming golden characters of "Edict to build Louguan Academy" instantly blinded the eyes of the people of Chang'an.
Before enrollment had even started, groups of royal family members and their sons, riding in carriages and carrying gifts, couldn't wait to visit.
Others don't know the meaning of the six words "Chi Zao Lou Guan Academy", but the emperor's relatives understand it very well. With these six words, it means that this is the emperor's territory, and the students taught in the emperor's territory are naturally the emperor's students.
.Being known as the emperor's student would definitely lead to Yin becoming an official in the future. Even Princess Guantao used her connections to find someone and wanted to send Chen Xu in.
Su Ren was not in the mood to pay attention to those people, so he specially transferred his father Yan to help. Dahan Newspaper has now become the home field of Sima Xiangru and his wife, and his father Yan's stay there is just a light bulb. Besides, Dahan Newspaper is already on the right track, is there any chance for Mr. Fu Yan to do so?
It doesn't have much effect. If you can work in Louguan Academy and be called "teacher" by those future officials of the Han Dynasty, you can imagine what kind of treatment you will get when you enter the court in the future. At least it won't be lower than your own students, right?
In addition to the royal relatives, there are also the courtiers. Although the birth rate of the population at that time was not very high, they could not afford to have more wives and concubines. Anyone with ability had at least one or two sons in their family. It would be strange if there were fewer. For the courtiers, they will
When the children were brought in, the royal family and relatives had no objections. However, after the children of merchants, farmers, and craftsmen were also allowed to enter the academy, a wave of protests immediately began.
In a strict social hierarchy, people at a higher level do not speak to people at a lower level, let alone eat and sleep at the same table, let alone receive the same education. If nothing else,
If the son of a certain royal family did not learn as well as the son of a craftsman, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the world? After the protest was rejected, the high-ranking people did something unanimously, which was to teach their son Qian Dingzhu
Wan told me not to let the lintel be discredited. Some even threatened to not be able to enter the ancestral graves.
Even though it was just a registration, the scene was already huge. Almost half of the people in Chang'an came to Louguan Academy. If the emperor Liu Che was not too busy, he would also come to see the future of the Han Dynasty. The arrival of so many people combined Chang'an with
The path to Louguantai has been extended for several meters, and thanks to the dryness of winter, it has been carefully trampled, so road construction has been saved.
Dong Zhongshu smiled and no longer doubted the possibility of becoming a great master. He stood at the door all day long, rain or shine. All the students who came to sign up bowed deeply and exchanged a few words of comfort and praise when they saw him.
Wen Dang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zi Heng! There is an academy, and there are students. Where will the teachers come from? From what I see, there are no less than a thousand people who have signed up during this period. I am afraid it will be difficult for us alone to teach?"
Su Ren smiled slightly: "Teacher, don't worry, maybe everything will be on the way, and everything will definitely be settled before the year."
"You still don't want to say who they are?"
Su Ren smiled and said: "It will be kept secret for now. The teacher will understand after seeing it."
Everything is packed and we are just waiting for the new year to start school. In order to ensure that there will be no mistakes by then, various facilities in the academy are undergoing final debugging. The water transmission official road leading directly from the back mountain to the water tower has been checked step by step.
There is a possibility of water leakage. Can the biogas used in the cafeteria be used for more than a dozen large stoves? Are the uniforms and ID badges prepared for the students missing? Everything is so busy that I feel dizzy.
As the New Year is approaching, the first group of teachers from Shuzhong and Qingzhou have finally arrived. They are representatives of Confucianism. They were all invited by Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang last year. Some of them are named Kong. Su Ren naturally understands where they come from.
The arrival of these people made the academy lively. Under the reception of Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang, a large group of Confucian students had a particularly comfortable time, and they especially spoke highly of those who volunteered to promote Confucianism.
Representatives from military strategists, legalists, celebrities, Yin-Yang families, farmers, Taoists, and medical experts came one after another. No one knew how Su Ren invited these people, and no one knew where these people had been since Qin Dynasty. Anyway, Su Ren
They were all found. Among them, Zhuang Qingzhai and Han Anguo were the most surprising. They were people dismissed from office by the imperial court. Putting such people into the academy made Dong Zhongshu and the Wen Party very unhappy. They came to Su Ren several times to argue, but Su Ren couldn't stand it.
Avoided with various excuses.
Su Ren hid in his office to make class schedule arrangements. Dong Zhongshu opened the door and came in with a black face. Su Ren immediately understood what was going on. He quickly threw down the things in his hands and saluted Dong Zhongshu with a smile: "Father-in-law is here.
, I’ll get you some water now!”
"No, I just want an explanation."
"Haha, my father-in-law and teachers, Mr. Kong and Mr. Gongsun are all doctors appointed by His Majesty. They are the biggest figures in this academy. What else do you need to explain to me? Everything depends on my father-in-law."
"Humph! I say one thing but do another. I don't accept this. Today I put my words here. This academy was built with my hard work. I have them without me, I have them without me!"
Su Ren was slandering in his heart: How could it be built by you with so much hard work, without any money or effort? This is really a shameless statement. Although he thought so in his heart, he smiled on his face: "Since my father-in-law is like this
Say, I will give you an explanation, or is it that my father-in-law thinks that everything in the world can be governed by Confucian classics?"
"That's natural! Confucianism governs the country by virtue. A virtuous monarch is a blessing to the people. Natural weather will bring peace to the world."
Su Ren smiled: "In that case, I dare to ask my father-in-law, how should Confucianism respond if a foreign enemy invades?"
"Convince others with virtue!"
"What if you can't accept it? Just like the Huns, what should you do?"
"Then send a large army to destroy it and avoid future troubles forever!"
"Great army! Do Confucians know how to deploy troops and generals, how to distribute food and grass? When to march, when to camp, when to attack and when to retreat?"
Su Ren talked for several times in one breath. Dong Zhongshu was confused by the question and did not speak for a long time: "The general can do this kind of thing, why should others consider it?"
"Since there is only Confucianism in the world, and the general is also a Confucian, and my father-in-law is not even a great Confucian in the world, how much can a Confucian general know?"
"The military is acceptable, but what's the use of Taoism?" Dong Zhongshu couldn't talk about Su Ren, so he changed the subject. In fact, the last thing he wanted was Zhuang Qingzhai. In the previous disputes between Taoism and Confucianism, many Confucianists were excluded by Taoism and even died unexpectedly.
, in the eyes of Confucians, Taoism naturally became enemies.
Su Ren smiled and helped Dong Zhongshu sit down: "How about my father-in-law! No one can explain everything in the world clearly. Taoism also did a lot of good things in the early Han Dynasty. During the period of Emperors Wen and Jing, the world was peaceful. Although the people
If you are not rich, you can at least have enough food and clothing. It can be seen that Taoism also has its own advantages. My father-in-law should not hate a person and abandon learning. If my father-in-law can let Zhuang Qingzhai leave on his own in terms of learning, I will have nothing to say!"
"That's what you said!"
Su Ren smiled and nodded. He is now the referee, walking among a group of experts. He can neither cause them to fight too much nor let them get too close. As long as it is an academic competition, Su Ren still hopes to see it.
Only in this way will they not hide it secretly, teach all their skills, and accumulate more experience for future generations.
Just after sending Dong Zhongshu away, Zhuang Qingzhai came again. Since the old man came to the academy, he has naturally encountered many blind eyes. Who knows that in the past few years, they relied on the majesty of the Empress Dowager to almost push the Confucianists into desperation and killed many Confucianists.
Not to mention, even the knowledge of other schools of thought was not spared. Only then did I understand what I had done.
Zhuang Qingzhai was more polite than Dong Zhongshu. With a smile on his face, he saluted Su Ren first. Su Ren quickly gave up his seat and said, "Sir, are you still used to living there? If you feel any discomfort, just tell Hu Ji and the others. If you can, sir, I will thank you for your majesty."
Zhuang Qingzhai saluted again: "Ziheng's words are serious. I treat sinners well. I am happy to be able to come to the academy as a disciple. Everything is fine. There is nothing dissatisfied."
"That's good. As long as you teach more good students, Your Majesty will understand your painstaking efforts."
Zhuang Qingzhai nodded heavily, took a sip of tea, and stopped talking.
Su Ren smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry. I have made an agreement with my father-in-law just now that they will not embarrass you again. As for the academic competition, I naturally have to rely on you. I must not say too much in this regard."
Zhuang Qingzhai let out a sigh of relief: "Zi Heng will put aside the past grudges. I am very grateful! There is one more thing, I hope Zi Heng can forgive me."
"Sir, please speak."
"Hey!" Zhuang Qingzhai sighed: "Those incompetent students of mine almost harmed..." out of dissatisfaction with me.
Before Zhuang Qingzhai finished speaking, Su Ren quickly waved his hand: "This matter has been revealed. As long as they can make some contributions to the academy, I will never mention it again, and just pretend that there is no such thing."
Zhuang Qingzhai almost burst into tears. He held Su Ren's hand and didn't know what to say: "Zi Heng is so generous, you are not as good as me!"
When the relationship between the two was at its strongest, the master's father ran in and said in a confused voice: "Here he comes, he comes! The person you have been waiting for for a long time is here!" (To be continued)
