Ma Zhou returned to his place of residence, hurriedly took out a pen and paper, copied the "Traveling is Difficult" that Du He had just recited word for word, and put it on the bedside.
All night long, he sat at his desk, staring at this poem without saying a word.
The oil lamp was refilled again and again.
Finally, daybreak came.
Ma Zhou felt that his mind was dizzy. He rushed out of the room and went to the Ba River. He washed his face with the cold river water and felt a little better. Then he rushed to the yard where Du He lived.
Seeing that the door was closed, he went up and started banging it.
After a while, the door opened.
Ma Zhou was about to walk inside when he saw Mo Yifei running out in a hurry with a blushing face.
His eyes widened immediately.
He sighed: "Young people are still amazing..."
As soon as he looked up and saw Du He, Ma Zhou burst into laughter.
Du He said hurriedly: "Old Ma, don't think so filthy. Miss Mo and I are just talking about life ideals, not what you think."
"I understand, I understand..." Ma Zhou did not argue, walked into the yard and said, "Du He, I've thought about it."
"What have you thought about?"
"Dry!"
Ma Zhou said one word and then waved his fist.
Du He laughed and said: "Okay, just one word, fuck him and turn him upside down. Lao Ma, I thought you were depressed, but I didn't expect that you still maintained your fighting spirit!"
The fact that Ma Zhou can become the censor and fight against the sky, the earth, and the air together with Wei Zheng in the court proves that he is a fighter at heart. This is what Du He appreciates about him. If he really changes his true nature, Du He will
He will not reuse him again.
Du He said: "Our biggest enemy is none other than ourselves... Only we can defeat ourselves completely. You can cheer up again, Lao Ma, I am sincerely happy for you. Right now, there is a big event happening.
It needs to be left to you."
"As long as there is something to do, even if it means going to the Lantian Coal Mine to dig coal, I will do it!" Ma Zhou gritted his teeth and said.
In the past few months, he has been too scared.
I never want to go back to the life of playing mahjong, drinking, sleeping and eating every day.
Du He smiled slightly and said, "Follow me!"
With that said, Du He walked out of the yard, followed closely by Ma Zhou.
The two walked out of the back door of Dream Group, walked upstream along the Bahe River, crossed a stone bridge, and then continued forward, arriving opposite the headquarters of Dream Group.
Ma Yiyi raised his head and saw various buildings lined up in the middle of the mountain. A stone gate stood in front of him. Behind the gate was a long staircase. It looked very grand. Although it could be seen from the opposite side, it was not as close as this.
It makes people feel shocked.
The top of the door was blank.
Ma Zhou asked curiously: "Why doesn't it have a name?"
Du He introduced: "The name was actually chosen a long time ago. The original name was Datang Vocational and Technical College. Later, I thought about it carefully and realized that this name is somewhat limited. In the future, this place will surpass the Imperial College... I want to build this place
It will become the most outstanding academic institution in the Tang Dynasty and even the world... Therefore, I plan to change the name to Banshan Academy!"
"Banshan College? Okay, what a good name..." Ma Zhou hurriedly praised it, "This name sounds very elegant, and it sounds better than the Imperial College. Let's call it this name!"
Then I heard him say: "Since you built this Banshan College, you should be the one to write the inscriptions. I heard that Du He's calligraphy has the style of General Wang You. Today is just the right time for me to see it."
The general Wang You mentioned by Ma Zhou was the famous "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi.
Du He nodded: "That's very good!"
He waved, and Lu Bu in the distance hurriedly brought pen, ink, and paper.
Du He rolled out the paper, and Ma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to rub the ink, and then personally handed the brush to Du He's hand.
Du He finished the work in one go and wrote the words "Banshan College", with dragons and phoenixes dancing, natural and full of atmosphere.
Bang bang bang.
Ma Zhou couldn't help but applaud: "Okay, okay, these words are vigorous and powerful, yet rough and soft at the same time. Others say that you have the true biography of the calligrapher, but in my opinion, it is not like this..."
Um?
Du He thought to himself, could it be that the writing was wrong this time?
But I heard Ma Zhou say: "In my opinion, your calligraphy is comparable to that of General Wang You. It is a whole of its own, a school of its own, and can be called Du style."
Du He threw away the brush and said with a smile: "You old horse, they say you are upright, but I didn't expect that you can also flatter me!"
Afterwards, Du He gave the inscription to Lu Bu and asked him to give it to Zhang Du to find a craftsman to carve the gate, while he and Ma Zhou walked up the steps.
The steps are not only steep, but also very long.
Ma Zhou climbed for a long time and then got angry. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked curiously: "The steps are so long. I don't know how the craftsmen transported these bricks up. It must have been...
It must be very hard.”
Du He laughed and said: "Old Ma, you are wrong about this. This mountainside college was built from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is such a long distance. It would be too stupid if all the materials were transported by manpower.
The road had already been built before the construction of Banshan College started."
Ma Zhou looked incredulous and asked: "The mountain is so steep, how can we build a road to get up there?"
Du He pointed not far away and said, "Old Ma, you will know after you come over and take a look."
Du He led Ma Zhou forward and came to the top of the mountain. Looking down, there was a road built like this from the bottom of the mountain. The road formed a zigzag shape section by section.
Ma Zhou pointed to the road and asked curiously: "Why does this turning point have a long section protruding out?"
Du He explained: "Old Ma, do you still remember the carriage we used to transport bricks? The minimum one had 5 carriages. It was very inconvenient to turn. And this zigzag road has a section protruding at the corner to make it easier for the carriage to turn.
…”
Du Ho's inspiration came from the idea of building railways by the father of railways in later generations. Of course, the train has two locomotives, but the carriage has only one locomotive. Therefore, on the protruding part of the road built by Du Ho, after the carriage went up, the coachman would pull the rope
Untie the horse and put it on the other side. It only takes two times to get to the top of the mountain. Although it takes some time, the efficiency is much higher than simple transportation.
Now that Banshan College has been built, this road specially built for transporting materials has become a beautiful landscape.
After hearing this, Ma Zhou repeatedly praised: "It's amazing, it's amazing that I can have such an idea... I, Ma Zhou, have been studying the books of sages all my life, but I have never thought that there is such a wonderful idea. No wonder everyone says
, you, Du He, are the smartest person in the world..."
