I try my best to feel like a spring breeze

Several days passed quickly.

The construction of the academy is in full swing!

Almost all the craftsmen and bricklayers in Fengjiang were recruited by Cao Zhengxiang, and he paid a lot in terms of price, so there were a lot of people shouting and cheering, which was quite lively.

At first no one paid attention here.

They all thought that the county magistrate hired craftsmen to build his own mansion or something. After all, he was an official, so it was not surprising that he had a private residence or something like that.

No one would even think about building an academy.

In Fengjiang, poor people are the norm and rich people are new, so there has never been any mention of studying in academies.

One is that he cannot afford to study at all, and the other is that studying is of little use. It is simply impossible to expect to stand out in the feudal territory and gain fame.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, establishing an academy, even if it is not the kind inherited from the Wendao Academy, is still more unrealistic than farming.

Of course, Shenmu organized the land reclamation before, which was an astonishing and unbelievable move.

But in a county where there are no practitioners, in some aspects, people still have little confidence.

Can be passed along with the message.

It has been repeatedly confirmed by many people.

In the end, everyone was shocked.

This Magistrate Shen really wants to build an academy!

And the goal is to get the second academy spot in the Liberal Arts Academy!

The reason why they were sure was that since the construction started, they could see the famous scholar almost every day, busy there, not only supervising the work, but also giving instructions and directing the craftsmen everywhere.

To be honest, Gu Shouzhi was resistant at first.

But on the first day, he was bribed by Li Tieniu with two ears of corn.

After finally eating the sweet sticky corn, Gu Shouzhi thought it would be okay to go take a look.

As a result, the more I looked at it, the more troubled I became. The construction of the academy was not like this!

Then there was a crazy command.

"There is no square without rules, so the courtyard of the academy must be square!"

"Look, the corridors in your academy must not be made of granite. Many students like to read while walking. If they accidentally fall, they may be injured."

"There is something wrong here. I think the ancestral hall behind this stone tablet should be preserved and then dedicated to saints or some great scholars."

"This land must be vacant. The academy does not need to have anything else, but it must have a library. This is the top priority! How can the academy be decent without books?"

Gu Shouzhi stood under the Wenjiang Ancestral Hall, looking at the drawings in his hand and giving constant instructions.

Behind him, Li Tieniu and a group of children were eating corn and watching in boredom.

The black-faced girl was unhappy: "Tieniu, can you talk to that man and ask him to build the house more slowly? I don't want to study so quickly."

Li Tieniu shook his head: "I have no say in this matter. You have to ask the county magistrate. Also, that person may be your husband in the future."

When Gu Sanyue heard this, he looked at Gu Shouzhi with strange eyes, feeling awkward.

"He is our sir?"

On the side, Xin Fan was chewing corn and said vaguely: "Well, it's not bad, it can be considered as high as Yushu Dafeng... a few buckets."

Gu Sanyue patted him: "That's a jade tree facing the wind. It's tall...it's seven buckets tall."

Xin Fan raised his eyebrows and then smiled stupidly: "Whatever, whatever you want will do. If you ask me, you should read in the morning and in the evening. You can't run away."

Gu Sanyue sighed: "If I study, wouldn't I have no time to practice? I am a general, and I don't want to be a scholar."

Seeing that Gu Sanyue was sad, Xin Fan threw away the corn, thought for a while and comforted:

"In fact, there are benefits to studying. When my father was still here, he said that the generals in the camp are all knowledgeable. Generals who don't study are not good generals."

"real?"

"real."

"Huh." Gu Sanyue glared at Xin Fan: "Okay, I remember. If you dare to lie to me, see how I deal with you in the future."

Xin Fan scratched his head and happily jumped off the wall.

With his hands behind his back, he walked leisurely behind Gu Shouzhi in front, stood side by side with him, took a sneak glance, and then spoke.

"Brother, do you know how long it will take for the academy to be built?"

"...?" Gu Shouzhi held the construction drawings in his hand and looked aside. He didn't expect that this big boy would call him brother. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, feeling inexplicably happy.

"It's almost there, but if you are in a hurry to study, I can ask them to hurry up. In less than half a month, the teaching place will definitely be ready."

Xin Fan was stunned and quickly waved his hands, not forgetting to look at Gu Yuyue behind him.

Good guy, I originally wanted to get close to you, but I ended up studying too early. If she hears this, I'll hit her before she even gets started.

"No, no, no, I'm just asking." Xin Fan shrank his neck and looked up and down at Gu Shouzhi's clothes. He was dressed in white, elegant and handsome, and felt a little envious.

"If I study, can I be like you?"

Gu Shouzhi smiled and then nodded: "Books are for yourself to read. Whatever you want yourself to be, you will become."

Xin Fan frowned, as if he didn't understand.

However, he was not to be outdone, and felt that he had to say something profound. Suddenly he thought of the few sentences that Zhao Taiji often said to him. They seemed to be quite poetic, and they should be no worse than him when used at the moment, right?

Then he said with an old-fashioned look on his little hand: "Well, what I wish for myself...is that for two taels of spring night, I will be idle all night long~"

Gu Shouzhi: "!?"

…

…

Inside the prison.

The young female cultivator in white looked at Shen Mu who suddenly came to deliver the meal in horror.

Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably and she didn't dare to breathe.

After Chen Mu passed by her, she felt relieved.

Voices came from the inside.

"He Lao Shen, the county magistrate, personally delivers the meal. Is he afraid that the drunkard's intentions are not in the bar?"

Liu Hao didn't know what day it was today.

But one thing is certain, his "happy life" in the prison cell is probably coming to an end.

This is the first time he has seen Chen Mu since he was imprisoned.

In other words, it was the first real face-to-face encounter between the two.

Before, he had only directed the leader of the Yuhe Sect to take action, but unexpectedly he still could not escape the thunderous means of the man in front of him.

Chen Mu held rice in his hand and smiled, trying his best to imitate Gu Shouzhi's scholarly temperament.

It's just that in Liu Hao's opinion, there's nothing remotely charming about his smile.

The nun over there was so scared that she wet her pants.

Logically speaking, Chen Mu can be considered a cultural person, but for some reason, there is a big difference in temperament between him and Gu Shouzhi.

How to smile and how to penetrate people.

Of course, this may have something to do with his purpose of coming.

Because a lot of things happened in Fengjiang these days!

Ever since the ghost pressed him into bed once, it hasn't appeared again.

But the problem is,

People are still being killed one after another!

Almost all of them are talented monks from other counties and counties.

At first they thought it was the ghost, but after looking back over time, Chen Mu came to a different conclusion.

Chen Mu: "Many people have died in Fengjiang recently."

"???" Liu Hao looked confused.

What does this have to do with him...
Chapter completed!
