"Dad, how much money can our family afford now?"
Li Zexuan didn't know that Brother Ji was wiping his butt behind his back. Oh, no, he was probably wiping the butts of the kids he hired. After dinner in the evening, he called his parents to the study room, intending to talk to them about running the academy.
"What? You don't have enough money?"
Li Jingmo asked in surprise.
Since Li Zexuan "started his own business", his monthly income has been more than that of the head of the family. Now he comes to him for money. How can Li Jingmo not be surprised?
"Yes! Xuan'er, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"
Mrs. Li asked with concern on her face.
Under normal circumstances, father and mother are always concerned about different directions.
"Haha, mother, you haven't encountered any difficulties, don't worry!"
Li Zexuan smiled, first comforted his mother, then looked at the two elders and said seriously:
"Father, mother, your majesty summoned me to the palace today. My son has resigned from your majesty. My son will no longer serve in the Imperial College in the future!"
"What?"
Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li's eyes widened when they heard this, and they exclaimed together.
"Xuan'er, could it be that you committed something and His Majesty asked you to resign?"
Li Jingmo asked.
Their son was knighted at the age of fourteen and held the position of Si Ye of the Imperial College. This was something that Li Jingmo and his wife were proud of every morning when they woke up. Now that they suddenly heard that their son had resigned from the post of Si Ye, how could Li Jingmo still sit still?
"Dad, it's okay! The main reason is that I don't want to be the boss anymore. I want to..."
"Asshole!"
Before Li Zexuan finished explaining, Li Jingmo roared and interrupted:
"Your son is about to start a family and start a career. Why do you still think about it? My father has told you a long time ago that the Imperial College is of great importance! His Majesty is willing to let you take on this responsibility. It is because His Majesty values you. , how can you not know good and evil just because you are greedy for fun? Come on, come on, go and apologize to His Majesty! Just say that you were confused this afternoon..."
"Dad~! Stop, stop, stop! Things are not what you think!"
Seeing that his father was getting more and more outrageous, Li Zexuan quickly interrupted:
"The main reason why I resigned from your Majesty is so that I can concentrate on my studies in the future and carry forward my master's knowledge! Dad, mother, you two elders also know about the impeachment of my son by Cui Shanyou and others from the Imperial College two days ago? I am so young, right? , just because you are in a high position in the Imperial College, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied, and then they will find faults in various ways. Although the child is not afraid of them, he is not willing to fight with those people all day long, it is a waste of time! "
"This Cui Shanyou is really hateful. He can't compare to my Xuan'er in terms of knowledge, so he is trying to use conspiracy and trickery to get you off Xuan'er. When I turn around, my mother will tell the servants in the house that whoever encounters Cui Shanyou in the future, they will slap him hard in the face." Spit! If you spit, you will be rewarded with a hundred coins!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Li said angrily.
Li Zexuan sweated. Sure enough, he was his mother's biological child! He had the same idea, but what he did was more damaging!
Both mother and son are wealthy and willful masters.
"Ahem!"
Li Jingmo hesitated to speak. At this critical moment, even if he had different opinions, he did not dare to speak them out! Otherwise, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. He could only cough dryly and change the topic. Oh, no, he brought the topic back and said:
"Xuan'er, since you have resigned, how can you concentrate on your studies?"
"Dad, I plan to build an academy at my own expense to teach my master the knowledge he left behind. It can also be regarded as a consolation to my master! Your Majesty has already agreed!"
Li Zexuan replied.
When he mentioned Master Lingxu, the expression on Li Jingmo's face immediately became solemn. The reason why their family can still be reunited as a family is entirely due to Master Lingxu's rescue back then. However, when he thought that his son jumped out of the Imperial Academy, he actually wanted to kill himself. When setting up an academy, Li Jingmo couldn't help but frown and said:
"Xuan'er, you are so confused! What is the future of this academy? How can it compare with the Imperial College?"
At this time, academies were not popular. There might be some private academies in twos and threes among the people, but they were just a place for a few like-minded poor scholars to gather to discuss Taoism. They were not like some government-run academies later, which were specifically for To teach and educate people.
The earliest government-run academies in China began in the sixth year of Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty opened Lizheng Academy in Luoyang, the eastern capital. It was not until the Song Dynasty that academies really began to become popular. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were even four major academies, namely: Yingtianfu Academy in Shangqiu, Henan, Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan, Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Jiangxi, and Dengfeng, Henan. Songyang Academy.
But in the early years of Zhenguan, how could people have any lofty impression of the academy? So when Li Jingmo heard that his son wanted to set up his own academy, he frowned. This can't be blamed on his conservative thinking. It was really a choice between the Imperial Academy and a private academy. A normal person would choose the Imperial Academy! Li Zexuan's move is like a Tsinghua professor who wants to change jobs to teach at a private training institution. It is difficult for an individual to understand.
"That's right! Xuan'er! How can private academies be so easy to run? I guess they won't even be able to accept a single student by then! My dear mother, if you resign from your position in the Imperial College, you can enjoy peace and happiness at home in the future. Come on, our family is rich and has a title, so why bother setting up an academy?"
Since ancient times, loving mothers often lose their sons. This is not for nothing. If Li Zexuan hadn't lived in two lives, he might have turned into a prodigal under his mother's doting.
"Father, mother, you can't say that!"
Li Zexuan had expected that his parents would object, but he did not expect that his elders would have such strong opinions on the academy. He explained:
"It is true that the academy in Tang Dynasty cannot be compared with the Imperial College now, but this does not mean that the academy built by Boyer will not be comparable to the Imperial College in the future! Boyer decided to set up an academy for three main considerations: First, he did not want to quarrel with those rotten scholars every day. ,waste time."
"Secondly, the subjects set up in the current Imperial College cannot allow children to impart all the knowledge taught by their masters."
"Thirdly, in the eyes of those great scholars, the knowledge that I have learned is all miscellaneous knowledge. If I teach this knowledge in the Imperial College, there will definitely be a storm of impeachment in the future!"
"You two, don't look at the private academies of our Tang Dynasty that are in a mess now, but the academies run by children will definitely be different. Today in the palace, even His Majesty is very interested in the children's academy. If the children are not unwilling, His Majesty will definitely There will also be some involvement, so, father, mother, do you still think that your child's academy will have no future?"
In order to convince his father and mother as soon as possible, Li Zexuan had no choice but to pull the tiger's skin and pull up the banner to pull Li Er out, which would appear more convincing.
"Ah~? Is Xuan'er serious about what he said? Even His Majesty is optimistic about your academy?"
Mrs. Li asked in shock.
"Of course! My child has never lied to you..."
"Asshole! Your Majesty wants to get involved, but you dare to disagree? I think you are getting more and more ignorant!"
Li Zexuan accidentally boasted too much, and Li Jing blew his beard and glared angrily.
