Shao Xi sent Mei Ruoyan back to Mingfengfang, and agreed that Shao Xi would come to the square to praise Mei Ruoyan in a few days. This time, Mei Ruoyan reluctantly agreed with Shao Xi that she must come and not break the promise again, otherwise she would But I'm really going to get angry and question him.
On the way back, Shao Xi kept thinking about what Mei Ruoyan said to him. Maybe he should really let go of Ye Ziyuan's matter. After all, there is still a long way to go, and he should try his best to deal with her affairs. That's it.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi reached out and touched the sheepskin belt bag around his waist. At this time, the red silk ribbon was lying quietly inside the belt bag.
As Mei Ruoyan said, keep that person deep in your heart and don't forget it. Just keep that memory quietly and continue your life!
Mei Ruoyan just said this to him, "As long as you are alive, you will meet many people and leave many people in your life. You may have to pick up many things, but you are destined to pick them up one day." It’s about letting go, grabbing what you can grab, and learning to let go of what you can’t grab.”
Yes, some people have to leave eventually, and some things have to be let go. No matter how tight you hold on, you will still have to let go one day.
Now that he has planned to set up a school, there is no room for delay. This must be completed within a month, because he will be going to Nanzhao as an envoy in a month. How can he still have time to do all these messy things?
Although I am not worried that the Baiding Guild will object to this matter, I still want to say hello to my husband. After all, this is considered to be a new branch. As his disciple, this is the most basic etiquette. You can't treat your teacher as such. Don't take it seriously?
Thinking of this, Shao Xi sped up and rushed towards Bailu Academy. This matter had been said and done early so that the children could be picked up as soon as possible.
When Shao Xi walked into the backyard of Bailu Academy, he was in a trance for a moment. Is this still the previous academy? It's literally a factory.
The processes in the paper mill and printing room are arranged in an orderly manner, and the workers are busy performing their duties. The finished paper is neatly cut by workers, and the excess material is sent back to the processing room for repeated processing; workers in the printing room cut the printed pages one by one and then begin to bind them into books. The bound books are then They were neatly stacked in large wooden boxes, ready to be taken away at any time.
The entire backyard of Bailu Academy was a busy scene at this time. No one even noticed Shao Xi walking in, let alone greeted him.
At this time, two old masters, Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai, were supervising and managing the work of the workers on site. If they found any process errors or improper operations, they would correct and adjust them on the spot. They were just two technicians supervising the work.
Shao Xi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. Two old masters who were engaged in learning no longer engaged in learning and became the workshop directors of the paper mill and printing room. Isn't this not doing their job properly? If neither of you writes a book, why should I print it? How can I make money without selling books? Wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse if we continue to do so?
I tried to persuade them last time, but it didn't seem to have any effect. It seems that what people often say about people who can't sit still when they get old is really true!
Now Shao Xi didn't bother to persuade anymore. After walking up to the two masters and seeing them, he directly mentioned the matter of establishing a school.
I originally thought that the two old masters should at least hesitate, but who knew that the two old men were very excited after hearing the news, and they both strongly agreed, which made Shao Xi a little confused.
It stands to reason that Shao Xi's approach will not only divert a large number of students from Egret Academy, but also affect the influence of Egret Academy. You must know that students who graduate from Shao Xi's school in the future will respect Shao Xi as their teacher. Yes, although he will also call Bai Dinggong master, after all, he is separated by one floor, which will still affect the reputation of Bailu Academy and Bai Dinggong to some extent.
"Shao Xi! Don't think that the two of us are old stubborns. Now you are creating a new school to cultivate more useful talents for the world. And you said that you would only accept children from poor families. I think your idea is good. Since you are running a school With sufficient financial resources, there is no need to recruit those dandy children. When I was a teacher, I had no choice. Now it seems that only students from poor families are really serious about studying. Although you are called my disciple, I have never taught you until now. What are you talking about? You have taught us two old guys a lot. Now that you are running the school and I am taking advantage of it and using the title of master, how can I object? You run the school well and we two old guys will work hard. Support you!"
Duke Bai Ding was indeed an open-minded and open-minded person, and he dispelled Shao Xi's concerns with just a few words.
"Since you are running a school, I think you can't find so many teachers for a while. Why don't Ding Gong and I arrange for some students to be teachers in your school. It was you who proposed the idea of starting a new school. Now in your What do you think about using the learning that the two of us created back then in the school as a basis for you to preach new learning in the school in the future?"
Liu Xingzhai's support for this matter is no less than that of Bai Dinggong. Now they are both very busy and teach their own students. When Shao Xi founded a school, they are naturally willing to let students who have no chance to teach go to Shao Xi's school. The heat is exerted in it.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Shao Xi helped their students who could not find a job solve the employment problem. Originally, Shao Xi’s school started from childhood, and the early teaching did not require the teacher’s level to be very high. Wouldn’t this mean Just right? The employer and the talent market are seamlessly connected.
Now that the problem of teachers has finally been solved, Shao Xi is not worried that no teacher will come to teach with him in the future. As long as the remuneration is paid, any good teacher can be hired. At present, the two old masters have helped him solve his most urgent needs. Shao Xi's heart Of course I am grateful.
This matter was approved and greatly assisted by the two old masters, and Shao Xi felt relieved.
The next step is to contact shopkeeper Cao. Now that he is not short of money, the property that needs to be purchased for running this school cannot be financed by Taihe Trading Company no matter what. I feel bad about always taking advantage of others.
As for the rest, it is not a problem at all to Shao Xi. In short, it is easier to do things if you have money, and spending money is easier than making money.
In the next three days, Shao Xi ran around, first buying a large house in a relatively prosperous area in the west of the city through Shopkeeper Cao.
Shao Xi's request is very simple. The house does not need to be very luxurious, but it must be large enough to support the size of the school. Shopkeeper Cao also lived up to his expectations. The house he found not only occupies a large area, but the area of the house built is also large.
I heard that this was the largest warehouse for storing cloth in Daliang City. Now that the cloth shop's business is not doing well, they want to sell this warehouse for cash as an emergency. Therefore, although the area of the house is large, the price is higher than when I bought Shuangxue. The building was more than half cheaper, which made Shao Xi feel happy.
After buying the house, the next step was to hire craftsmen to repair and renovate it, and then hired carpenters to make desks, bookshelves, bookcases and other necessary furniture and appliances. In short, they were all available. Basically, everything that Bailu Academy had was purchased here. .
As for the name of the school, Shao Xi specifically went to ask Bai Dinggong for advice. Although he established his own school, if Bai Dinggong asked him to name the school Bailu Academy, he would have nothing to say. Unexpectedly, Bai Dinggong actually generously stated that the school was founded by Shao Xi alone and should not be called Bailu Academy. He suggested that Shao Xi use the name of the bookstore and simply name the school "Yu Yan Tang".
Shao Xi felt a little depressed. He finally stopped calling Feng Yuyan and used his own name. Why does it feel like Feng Yuyan is everywhere now? It almost formed a psychological shadow.
But if I think about it carefully, I feel relieved. Isn’t it Feng Yuyan?
Using Feng Yuyan's body and Feng Yuyan's identity, from Lao Wu to Bai Dinggong to the many people who take care of him in the court, who is not looking at his Feng Yuyan's identity? It would indeed be a bit unkind to complain about this now.
It's not like Feng Yuyan offended you, you just came to him yourself.
Besides, since you have used someone else’s body, you should leave something for him in this world. You can also leave a tombstone when others die! Now that your body has been taken over by you, I can't live without death, so what's wrong with leaving a name for someone else?
Shao Xi pays attention to efficiency in his work. In three days, the internal transformation of Yuyan Hall has been completed, and a comprehensive renovation was carried out from the inside to the outside. The carpenters worked day and night in these three days to complete the work. All the necessary furniture and utensils were rushed out.
The efficiency is so high, all thanks to the considerable wages given by Shao Xi. In the past three days, the craftsmen have been working almost desperately. You must know that they have made more in this trip than in the past two years. How can they not work desperately?
After the project was completed, the workers and handymen were invited to clean the inside and outside of the school, making it spotless. Shao Xi stood in the courtyard, looking at the plaque with the three characters "Yu Yan Tang" hanging on the lintel of the main hall, and nodded with satisfaction.
Three days! It only took Shao Xi three days to create a school out of thin air.
But the matter is not over yet. Although the school has been built, there are still many troublesome things to do next. It is no longer a problem to have a teacher to teach. The four treasures of the study, books and copybooks, poetry volumes, and classics and history classics are not a problem for Shao Xi who runs a bookstore. The biggest problem now is that he needs to go to Jingzhao Mansion to register before he can recruit students. , hold classes, preach and give lectures.
The imperial court itself encouraged the private sector to establish private schools, but it had to be verified and certified by the local government. Only when it was determined that the teachers of the Xuetang Academy were sufficient, and the courses taught were not heretical and heretical, and the Xuetang Academy was recognized as having formal qualifications for running a school, could it be officially Open classes and teach.
This matter can be said to be troublesome, but it can also be said to be simple. With Shao Xi's current rank and official position, it is not impossible to talk directly to the governor of Jingzhao. The problem is that he is not familiar with them! Is it appropriate to come to someone's home so abruptly?
He was not suitable, but there was one person who was suitable. He thought of his senior brother Bai Jingnian.
It shouldn’t be difficult for Dr. Guozi to apply for a school qualification, right?
