Seeing Han Du looking at him expressionlessly, Lao Zhu seemed to feel that what he was doing was a bit unfair, so he simply slid his finger across the map.
"From the original grain depot to the Qinhuai River, I will give you this area, do you want it?"
"want!"
Don't be a fool, such a large piece of land is at least several hundred acres, which is enough for a garden, let alone a college? As for talking about going too far, others may be taboo, but Han Du doesn't care. It doesn't matter if there is a misfortune. I haven't seen that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many schools were built on mass graves, and I haven't seen anything happen to them.
Seeing Han Du agreeing immediately, Lao Zhu asked with a smile: "Have you thought about the name of the academy?"
Han Du subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly saw the hopeful look on Lao Zhu's face, and Han Du swallowed the words that came to his lips. "Not yet. I am also worried about this matter. This name is related to the academy's affairs for generations to come. I must not be careless."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu put on a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face, stroking his beard and looking at Han Du without saying anything.
Han Du, who was naturally extremely virtuous, begged Lao Zhu, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and has learned from the past to understand the present. Why don't you ask the Emperor to grant you a name?"
Lao Zhu shook his head and sighed, pointed at Han Du and said: "You, I told you to study more, but you are either thinking about eating and drinking or hanging out in the Jiaofang Division all day long. Are you okay now? You will regret less when you know that the book will be used, right?"
"I know, I know, the emperor's lesson is right. I will definitely restrain myself and return to etiquette in the future, and strive to be a role model for others." But I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. In life, there are two words: eating and drinking. If I don't think about eating and drinking, how can I still think about how to be a cow for the old Zhu family? Isn’t it possible to just add bricks and tiles? Besides, Lao Zhu put himself in charge of this Jiaofang Division, and Han Du had never been there before.
And Han Du felt that compared to Lao Zhu's sons, he was already considered good. When the kings of Qin and Jin were in the capital, they spent more time in Jiaofangsi than when they returned to the palace. They just stayed in Jiaofangsi directly and did not see Lao Zhu say anything about it.
"It's true to say that you should be a teacher by example. It shows that you still have talents, but you still need to continue to hone them." Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction and looked at him with approval.

He glanced at Han Du.
What could Han Du say? He could only nod in agreement.
"As for the name of this academy, let me think about it carefully." After saying that, he stroked his beard and walked around the hall in deep thought.
After a while, he seemed to have gained something. He looked back at Han Du with great satisfaction and said, "How about calling it the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy?"
"Okay, great name!"
As soon as Lao Zhu said it, Han Du clapped his hands and applauded. Because in Han Du's heart, he had already prepared it. No matter what name Lao Zhu came up with, he would applaud it immediately.
Han Du's hard work was not in vain. After hearing this, Lao Zhu was really happy. He waved his hand and said comprehensively: "You have the final say on how to build this academy. I will ask the Ministry of Industry to send people to cooperate with you."
Since the Ministry of Industry was involved in the construction, Handu naturally didn't even have to worry about the materials.
Originally, Han Du was still a bit slanderous about Lao Zhu's name. In Han Du's opinion, how good would it be to call it Daming Institute of Technology? But since Lao Zhu has paid for the construction, in line with the principle that the one who spends the money is the boss, Han Du said happily: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Emperor is the co-owner of the world, and he should be the judge of the academy."
"Isn't this a little inappropriate? Since you built the academy, you should naturally be the judge." Lao Zhu hesitated.
"It's appropriate, why isn't it appropriate? It's perfect for the emperor to serve as the academy's judge. The king of heaven and earth is your master, and you are far above the teacher. Moreover, if the emperor becomes the judge, then the students who come out of the academy will naturally occupy the king's position. The second personal teacher, this is the disciple of the emperor who truly belongs to the emperor." Han Du said righteously.
Lao Zhu took a breath. He was such a shrewd person. After being awakened by Han Du, he naturally knew the benefits of doing so. He even regretted that he should have taken this righteous name when he founded the Imperial Academy. .
In this Ming Dynasty, where the country was founded on filial piety and where one day is a teacher and a life is a father, with this righteous title, it can be said that no matter who sits on the dragon throne, he can be as stable as Mount Tai. For example, Lao Zhu encountered resistance from civil servants because of the abolition of Zhongshu Province, and there is still no sign of easing the relationship between monarch and ministers. But if it were Lao Zhu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If he is the judge of the Imperial College and takes over this righteous title, will the civil servants try to resist again? A person who is unfilial will be criticized by thousands of people and will be infamy for eternity. How dare he compete with the emperor? Just dream.
Don't the civil servants know this? Lao Zhu shook his head, he didn't believe it. Those civil servants always put their righteousness in front of them and stand up to me. How could they not know its importance? Besides, if Han Du could understand something, how could the civil servants not understand it?
The reason why none of them told me was simply that they didn't want me to take over this great honor.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but look up at Han Du with admiration. I am still considerate of my own people. If Han Du doesn't tell me, I'm afraid those civil servants will keep me in the dark until my death.
"Since you are so insistent, then I will reluctantly do this court judgment." Lao Zhu looked like he couldn't stand Han Du and was extremely helpless.
At the same time, I did not forget to tell Han Du, "But I am just a court judge in name, so please don't make it public yet. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. You must be the deputy judge of this academy."
Lao Zhu still cherishes his feathers a little, and will not become the academy judge rashly. It is naturally a good thing to set up an academy. If it is done well, it will naturally bring fame and fortune, students will be everywhere, and its status among scholars can be imagined. But if it is not done well, it will also be a matter of ridicule.
Therefore, until the matter becomes clear, Lao Zhu still feels that it is best not to let anyone know about his court judgment for the time being.
To put it bluntly, Lao Zhu just didn't want to take any risks, and just wanted to wait for the academy to become famous before going out to pick peaches. If he had to change his partner, Han Du would definitely spit on his face. But who makes Lao Zhu the emperor? Everything the emperor says is right.
"I understand. Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will not bring up the matter of court judgment with a third person again."
Lao Zhu suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm still very optimistic about the academy." Lao Zhu couldn't help but add, fearing that Han Du had any bad ideas.
Han Du is naturally not worried. Besides, it doesn't matter even if his attempt fails this time. As long as he sows the seeds of science, as time goes by, one day it will bear fruit.
