Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 738 Guozi University
There is a mountain in the north of Nanjing called Jilong Mountain. It is named after its round shape and shape like a chicken coop.

Jilong Mountain is not high, only more than thirty feet.It is adjacent to Xuanwu Lake in the north, Jiuhua Mountain in the east, and Gulou Gang in the west. It is the remnant of Zijin Mountain extending into the city. It is really a place with excellent scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers.

In the Southern Dynasties, this place was one of the royal gardens.By the time of the Republic of China, Jilong Mountain and the thousands of acres of Feng Shui treasure land surrounding it were also designated as royal gardens as usual.

It's a pity that Boss Zhu can't appreciate the beautiful scenery. He always feels that such a big place is empty and wasted, let alone build a garden for his family's enjoyment.

In fact, the tragedy of building Fengyang Palace caused a great psychological shadow on him.So much so that Boss Zhu still thinks that this is the most serious mistake he has ever made in his life.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is now ashamed of building large-scale construction projects and palaces, and always feels that he will be poked in the back by the people of the world.As a result, even the expansion and decoration plan of the Nanjing Imperial Palace was rejected. They simply painted the walls and continued to live in it with repairs.

Jilong Mountain has always been empty.Until Lao Liu reported to him that the Guozi School building was too small, with thousands of students crowded inside. It was like a vegetable market all day long, and there was no quiet place to be found. How could the students study with peace of mind?
And the location of the Confucius Temple is also great... As soon as you step out, you will find the most prosperous section of the Qinhuai River. The river towers in Quzhong Jiaofang are one after another. There are tiled houses with hooks and balconies everywhere, and the flowers are gradually becoming charming. The immediate answer is yes.

Most of the Guozi students are under 30 years old. They are at the age when they are full of energy, have strong needs, and have great whims.How can one concentrate on studying when everyone is only thinking about having an affair on the Qinhuai River?
When Boss Zhu heard it, it did make sense.With a stroke of his pen, he allocated the royal garden in Jilong Mountain to Lao Liu and asked him to build a new school building ten times the size.

Compared to the Confucius Temple, Jilong Mountain is indeed more suitable for a school building.First of all, it is located in the north of the city and has a wide land.Let alone building a school building ten times the size, even if it were built twenty or thirty times, there would still be plenty of space.

And the reason why the land here is so wide is because it’s remote, isn’t it?Nanjing people like to live in the south of the city because the imperial palace is in the southwest corner of the capital.

Therefore, not only the residences of princes and nobles are located in the south, but also wealthy businessmen and common people are heading south of the city.Even if there is no room in the south of the city, I would rather live outside the city than in the north.We don’t know what the psychology of this is.

Anyway, in this era, apart from the beautiful scenery, there is nothing special about the Jilong Mountain area.It's not true to say that birds don't poop, but it is indeed sparsely populated, vegetable fields and farmland are everywhere, and there are no serious shops.Not to mention the hook-and-rail roof.

If the students wanted to have an affair again, they would have to walk to the Confucius Temple ten miles away on two legs.With their small bodies, their legs would feel weak wherever they went. How could they still have such an affair?
And just across the wall from the campus is the Ministry of Punishment Prison.If you don't study hard, you'll be thrown into jail...

So happy decision.

Adhering to the consistent high efficiency of the Hongwu Dynasty, within a few days of Boss Zhu's decision, the new Guozixue school building project began with great fanfare.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was not stingy about education at all, and basically responded to Lao Liu's requests.That's what a person wants to give to someone, not only does he need money, but also his life.

In short, except for money, Boss Zhu can help him solve everything...but he has to find a solution for money.

In fact, it would be nice if Boss Zhu didn’t ask him for money. Let’s just dream about giving him money, right?
Now Boss Zhu is almost regretting it.If he could do it all over again, he would never give Lao Liu's Hai Zheng Yamen such a long tax holiday.

Of course, the main reason was that I didn't expect that Lao Liu could integrate the sea so quickly, resume maritime trade, and start making big money the next year.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, he should have repented a long time ago and said that what he said before does not count. Not only do you have to pay taxes from now on, but you also have to make up for the tax arrears for the past three years...

Fortunately, the prince was still there to stop him, so the old thief couldn't do whatever he wanted.Of course, Lao Liu also has something to say, you didn't want to pay a penny at first, so you gave us tax exemption for a few years.

Now that you see that Shibosi can make a lot of money, do you want to have sex for nothing?Bah, there is no way.

However, despite the criticism, most of the cost of the new school building was borne by the Prime Minister Hai Zheng Yamen, of course in the form of donations.

As a price, the new Guozixue will set up a special navigation academy to train talents for the maritime administration yamen...

And another advantage of paying for it yourself is that you can build the campus completely according to your own wishes, with high standards and strict requirements, without being restricted by anyone.

So Lao Liuji changed his draft and designed a grand building complex for Guozixue.In addition to the necessary school buildings such as Minglun Hall, Hall [-], Hall [-], dormitories for teachers and students, library, etc., there are also planned a series of functional places such as shooting garden, racecourse, stadium, swimming pool and so on.

Lao Liu planned this place based entirely on the standards of future university towns. He hired the best designers from Suzhou and Hangzhou to build the highest-grade school buildings.For no other reason than to make all future officials who graduate from Guozixue proud of their alma mater!
It’s not like His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so happy about his success.

However, the stall is so big that it would be wishful thinking to complete it in a short time.

So far, many functional areas have not been completed, and the decoration of the teaching building has not yet been completed.

Fortunately, the main project and dormitories have been basically completed. We can open the school first and then work while going to school.

Moreover, students can come to the construction site to help in their spare time and experience the hard work of the people.

The King of Chu said: "All the students of the Imperial Academy will be officials in the future. If you don't understand the sufferings of the people, how can you know the difficulties of the people?" '

Now even Song Ne can't stand it anymore. Is that ridiculous?Students are here to go to school, not to do your work!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of praise for Lao Liu's arrangement and suggested that he set up a labor point for each student. How many bricks must be moved every year in order to get enough points and successfully advance to the next level...

In terms of being a good person, Boss Zhu has always been far ahead.However, Lao Liu is also catching up, showing a strong tendency to outperform others.

Anyway, on February [-]nd of the new year, Jilong Mountain was busy with traffic.

That was when the emperor led hundreds of officials to come in person to inaugurate the new Guozixue.This one is for the sake of Lao Liu. As for the second one, Guozi studies are so important.

Amidst the loud sound of firecrackers, and under the watchful eyes of nearly ten thousand students and teachers of Guozi Academy, the red silk on the huge horizontal stone in front of the new Guozi Academy was slowly lifted, revealing four powerful characters -

'Guozi University! 'The officials who came to watch the ceremony read together, and then whispered among themselves, guessing what the name meant.
