Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 140 Donglin Academy
"Re-sealed?"

Liu Yi really felt a toothache.

Is Liu Yu a little too casual?
never mind.Just do whatever you want, who told him to be Liu Yu.

At this time, Wang Maide was following Liu Yizhen, and he said with some concern: "Mr. Chang'an, isn't that not good for us?"

Wang Maide was very concerned about Liu Yizhen's affairs. He knew what Liu Yizhen's purpose in coming to Jiankang was, so he rushed to Liu Yizhen to discuss countermeasures after learning that Liu Yifu had been re-sealed.

"What are you panicking about?"

Although Liu Yi was really uncomfortable, he couldn't show it in front of his subordinates.

"Go and find out who father has met in the past few days, hide it."

The change of Liu Yu's attitude must have been influenced by something, and no matter what the influence is, it is not good for Liu Yizhen anyway.

"Here!"

Wang Maide is cautious and cautious. As a surrender, he is much more low-key than Gao Yun. It is safer to act in Jiankang City where dragons and tigers are hidden.

"By the way, ask Gao Yun to withdraw some of the money he got from selling Guanzhong white porcelain. I'm useful."

It is almost time to start the school.

Xie Lingyun was about to leave at some point, and had to finish the school opening ceremony before he left.

Tao Yuanming studied his chrysanthemum carefully.

These two are big bosses at the "mascot" level, and the person who is really in charge of the school's trivial matters has to be Yan Yanzhi.

After choosing a piece of land to the east of Jiankang, Liu Yizhen boldly bought it in full, and recruited a group of people to build a school as quickly as possible.

Since it is a school for "communication", it must not be a matter of setting up a few tables and setting up a few bedrooms.

This school was built by Liu Yizhen in imitation of later Suzhou gardens.

It is centered on the school "Tingyuxuan" with four halls, and the east and west gardens are connected with the residence by cornices and heavy buildings.

The east garden is called "Yunliuju", which has a large area and many small courtyards, which are places for students to rest.The main building faces south and is layer upon layer.There are three small courtyards in the southeast corner, where Xie Lingyun and Yan Yanzhi will live.

The West Garden is called "Nanshan Court". It has a small area and is divided into two small courtyards with a book library as the center. base.

As for the name of the school, it was Liu Yizhen who made the final decision.

"Donglin Academy".

In front of the academy gate, on the left is written "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading is in your ears."

On the right, it says "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything concerned."

Don't tell me, even Liu Yizhen was in a daze when the couplet was hung up, as if the purpose of setting up this place was really to serve the country and the people...

"I feel a bit like a big villain when I look at it now..."

After the hardware facilities are ready, there is software.

First of all, there are students. There are not many students in the first batch of the academy, only thirty.

But these 30 people all come from the top giants.

Wang, Xie, Shen, Wu, Yang...

Although they are not direct descendants, they are at least blood relatives within three generations of the main family.

The instructor's words were originally Ding Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun, and Yan Yanzhi.

But right now Xie Lingyun couldn't keep him, so he had to find another person to replace him.

This candidate was recommended by Yan Yanzhi, who was also one of their friends in the small circle - He Changyu from the East China Sea.

This person is also the kind of "celebrity" who has a name but no real talent, but because he is good at communication, and at the same time has the attitude of licking dogs with Xie Lingyun and Yan Yanzhi, so Yan Yanzhi pulls each other out for personal gain.

But Liu Yizhen didn't care, on the contrary he was very happy.

Gathering these people is not really to teach them to read, but to build a circle of "sharing weal and woe". If everyone is a saint, then Liu Yizhen has no need to form this circle.

The cost of the academy is currently provided by Liu Yizhen, but this situation will not last for long.

The first batch of students from the top aristocratic families are all free, and they are provided with good food and drink.After a period of time, the second and third batches of aristocratic families at the first and second levels will inevitably be recruited, and then the academy will be able to charge them a huge amount of "tuition fees" for expenses.

Don't ask if there will be a big fool to pay for it. The rich people's desire for "circle" is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.Those low-level aristocratic families can get in touch with the clansmen of the top-level aristocratic families if they spend a few million, even if it is a waste of money, they still have to squeeze into the academy.

The benefits of setting up an academy soon became apparent.

The "Qingliu" headed by Yan Yanzhi and He Changyu published articles praising Liu Yizhen, saying that his act of opening a school was to imitate the enlightenment of "sages".

In addition, Xie Lingyun also joined the academy, relying on his previous reputation from "self-government", the people couldn't help but really believe that Liu Yizhen's move was really doing good deeds, and Liu Yizhen's reputation among the people grew wildly for a while.

All this made Liu Yizhen a little speechless.

The "opening of mountains, rivers, forests" and "restriction and abolition of slaves" that were promoted before are really doing things for the people and striving for their interests, but the people have completely ignored them.

Opening an academy now is of no benefit to the common people, just inviting a few gunmen to post articles to get praise...

No wonder since ancient times, down-to-earth capable officials have not responded well to the treacherous officials who boast about flattering horses.One is to ask people for money and offend others to do thankless things, and the other is to earn a reputation as a "sage king" by just writing articles. Normal people must like the latter.

In this regard, Liu Yizhen can only tell himself over and over again to "never forget the original intention".

Whether it is the academy or the competition for the position.

These are means, not ends.

Don't lose yourself in the vanity and nothingness.

Therefore, apart from occasionally going to the academy to put on a show, Liu Yizhen kept his distance from the academy at other times.

During this period, Wang Maide also helped Liu Yizhen find out the information.

"The King of Song gave the order temporarily after he came out from Mrs. Xiao that day."

Mrs. Xiao...

Liu Yizhen was a little dazed when he heard the news.

His imaginary enemies are Xu Xianzhi and Xie Hui, but he never expected to be Xiao Shi.

Of course Liu Yizhen knew the meaning of the Xiao family to Liu Yu, and it must have something to do with Liu Yifu's re-entitlement.

"also……"

Wang Maide also told Liu Yizhen a piece of news——

He inquired that Zhang Que and Mrs. Zhang also visited Mrs. Xiao a few days ago.

Zhang is Liu Yifu's mother.

Liu Yizhen was also a little puzzled when he heard Zhang's name.

This person in the history books was extremely low-key, and even after Xu Xianzhi and the others killed Liu Yifu, they didn't see her make any moves.

Now at this time, she actually got involved?

After thinking about it, Liu Yizhen expressed his understanding.

Mrs. Zhang may indeed be low-key and not very capable.

But when it comes to her own son, no matter how weak a woman is, she will explode with unimaginable strength.

but……

"Heh! Who doesn't look like a mother!"
