Chapter 140 I Didn't Say Anything, It Was Their Guessing(1/2)
Chapter 140 I didn’t say anything, they were just guessing! (Please order)
In the north of the city, Fuye Lane, Wenjiang Ancestral Hall.
The scene here now is very different from before.
Since the main building of the academy needed to be built, the surrounding area could only be expanded, many empty houses were demolished to make room, and a street was abandoned to serve as a square for the front of the academy.
Fortunately, there are not many families living here, and Gu Shouzhi gave a lot of demolition money, so many people were happy to move away without any nostalgia.
Viewed from a distance.
Although the main building is less than half-finished, it already has some majestic prototypes.
After all, with the incense money, construction materials were delivered quickly and the progress was improved.
Faster than expected.
This is thanks to Shen Mu's body tempering elixir.
With the addition of the one hundred men who had reached the threshold of the Body Refining Realm, the construction of the project began to take off like a duck to water.
Anyway, physical work is not a problem at all.
On the other side of the main building of the academy.
Then there was a spacious school that had already been built, and the interior was extremely elegant.
There are rows of square tables in the school. The four treasures of the study are fully placed. The curtains are half rolled around, and there is a wooden screen underneath with carved patterns and texts, and the fragrance of books overflows.
Apart from anything else, Gu Shouzhi had extremely strict requirements for the environment in which he could study and study.
Chen Mu understands this very well.
That's really worth spending money on.
Don't think that the five hundred incense money really only bought wood. After his understanding, it was not the case at all!
Just those few "Yunwen Screens" cost a full one hundred and fifty incense coins.
At that time, Chen Mu was so angry that he pinched people.
However, what Gu Shouzhi said is very clear. Reading requires quietness and getting rid of distracting thoughts.
These four screens are not simple. They are the proud work of a great scholar in literature and Taoism, and they are called "Silent Screens".
The four pieces belong to the four directions, southeast, northwest, and form a set of formations. They do not have much effect. They are only used for wind and sound insulation, rain protection and meditation.
Chen Mu felt that he had been cheated. In fact, several of Liu Changfeng's talismans could also have the same effect.
However, in Gu Shouzhi's opinion, Fu Lu's book aroma and artistic conception are not enough, and it is incompatible with reading, so it cannot be included in the school.
Chen Mu scoffed after hearing this.
To put it bluntly, I don’t have enough talent to look down on you.
High-sounding.
There is nothing particularly good about scholars.
…
At this moment, gongs and drums were beating in Fengjiang City, and everyone gathered.
Not even a few days have passed since the last time I heard the sound of gongs and drums.
Many people are a little speechless. They won’t start giving away pills again, right?
Who can bear to do this every three days?
It is estimated that I will not be able to make it through the year, and my heart will collapse.
In fact, Shen Mu never thought about making a big splash at the beginning.
In his opinion, it is just a simple teaching ceremony, and it does not count as the official opening of the academy. After all, the main building has not been built yet.
Seeing that Gu Shouzhi paid more attention to him than him, Shen Mu felt a little guilty.
Perhaps what he thinks is red tape, in the eyes of scholars, is related to inheritance. Since someone is willing to be this gentleman, he should at least be respected enough.
You know, Gu Shouzhi's identity is not that of a money slave.
He is a disciple of a saint.
The gentleman from Dali Academy is expected to become the youngest scholar in Dali.
In the eyes of many people, it is almost certain that Gu Shouzhi will become a great Confucian. There are even rumors that he is already halfway to becoming a great Confucian, just missing the mark.
After the great Confucians, there are saints, whose realms are lofty and far-reaching.
Of course, let’s not talk about how high he is. Just by counting, this status may be even more powerful than Xu Cunhe’s status as a pavilion elder.
Therefore, many people have questions in their minds as to why he personally petitioned Emperor Dali to come to Fengjiang for observation, and why he was willing to condescend to be a teacher here after coming.
Maybe it means leaving the capital, maybe it's not, but no matter what it is, no one dares to say anything.
There are many factions in the Wen Dao Academy, but Gu Shouzhi's faction is a bit evil and knows everything about it, so don't offend anyone.
…
at this time.
There were already people outside the school.
Just like at Caishikou that day, many monks from other places consciously found a good viewing position for themselves.
I don’t know why, but this has almost become a habit. I either climb trees, climb walls, or go up to roofs.
For those who don’t know, they think they, the monks, have nothing to do but imitate monkeys.
In front of the school gate.
Chen Mu appeared with a group of people, among whom there were a few special people worth mentioning.
In addition to a few people from the government office, there are also two people, Xiao Nanhe and Xu Ge.
This was invited by Shen Mu.
Xu Cunhe agreed quickly and was originally thinking about how to have a relationship with Shen Mula.
But Xiao Nanhe didn't want to come.
I just want to take the vitality rice back to the military camp tomorrow.
But then he thought about the negotiation with Shen Mu that day. In the end, he said whether the Body Tempering Pill would be sold would depend on his performance.
This had to make him soften.
In fact, following the ceremony was nothing more than watching the excitement up close. After all, the protagonist was Gu Shouzhi. If Chen Mu was not given face today, he was worried that future cooperation would be hindered.
After weighing it, Xiao Nanhe reluctantly agreed.
Behind the two of them were Liu Changfeng and the disciples of Wuliangshan.
At this moment, Liu Changfeng was curious.
Because before he came, Shen Mu said to him, "I'll settle the bill for you today."
This made him a little confused.
Just looking at the portraits of several literary saints who were offering incense in the Wenjiang Ancestral Hall on the other side, he suddenly thought of something!
No way!
Does this kid really have a ‘Saint’s Dao Seal’?
…
The opening ceremony is not complicated, just pay homage to the literary saint.
As for some literate words, Gu Shouzhi omitted this.
Of course, it was also Chen Mu’s suggestion.
After all, the people here in Fengjiang are less well-educated, and few people listen to those profound words.
If he had something to say, just wait until he started teaching and tell the students.
After everything was done, Chen Mu stepped forward.
"Everyone, although the academy has not yet been completed, starting from today, the school can start classes in advance, with Mr. Gu teaching classes and the tuition fees being borne by the Yamen.
Children can study, and so can adults. Anyone who wants to study can come to Mr. Gu’s school to listen.
In addition, the schools in Fengjiang are open to the outside world. This is what I promised Mr. Gu. There is no distinction between local and foreign students in studying and doing knowledge. People from other counties and counties can come if they want to study, but they have to pay for themselves. "
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone around was stunned at first, this was something they didn't expect.
You know, the person above is Gu Shouzhi, and I don’t know how many people want their juniors to be his students.
I originally thought that he would go to school only for people with feudal household registration like before.
However, this time, unexpectedly, the door was opened to the outside world!
