Rong Yue didn't understand until the next day when he heard that many people outside were saying that the Lord of Yiyang County was kind-hearted and sympathized with the hard work of the hard workers in the academy. He spent his own money to improve their food, which was thanked by everyone.
Those hard workers were grateful for the county Lord's mercy and worked tirelessly to catch up with the progress. It was originally said that it would take more than half a month to repair the library, but it was declared completed on the eighth day. Even the inside and outside of the academy were cleaned.
When Tang Ning and others moved all the books in the house into the library, Rong Yue was suddenly shocked.
"What's wrong?" Gu Helian was sweating profusely. She turned around and saw Rongyue in front of the door with a dazed face.
Rong Yue looked at Tang Ning in the library, who was instructing the people below to sort books, and the teachers who had been admitted to the academy in advance, who were surrounding Tang Ning and asking questions. She couldn't help but open her mouth: "Tang Ning is a little different from before..."
Gu Helian was confused: "What?"
It was too noisy in the library and he couldn't hear clearly what Rongyue said.
Rongyue shook his head in silence: "It's nothing."
She just felt that after returning from Qishan, Tang Ning was a little different from before. During the previous period, she only occasionally felt something was wrong with Tang Ning. But as time passed, the disobedience on her became more and more serious. She He is not as smart as he should be at his age, and his ability to read people's minds is getting better and better.
It's not that Rong Yue thinks it's bad for her, it's just that she has changed so much in less than half a year, and she always feels like she's missing something.
Seeing that she looked a little strange, Gu Helian hurriedly put down the book in her hand and walked over: "Are you feeling unwell? Otherwise, let someone take you back first. I'll keep an eye on the library for Tang Ning and wait to tidy it up later." We will go back."
Rong Yue suppressed the confusion in her eyes: "No, go in and tidy up quickly, otherwise it will get dark soon."
The books in the collection that he got back from the Lu family were arranged in categories. The ones left by Grand Tutor Rong were later rearranged by Tang Ning when he found the time, so today he just asked people to place them in order. In the library.
Cang Lang had brought people over to help him early, and Xiao Yan also came to the academy after coming out of the palace. But even so, when he was waiting to put everything back together, the moon was already in the sky outside.
The originally enthusiastic masters were so tired that they collapsed on the ground without any image.
Tang Ning looked at the library that was not full and felt a little regretful: "There are still not enough books, and I don't know when the library will be full."
Gu Helian raised her head and glanced at the stairs on the top of the building and couldn't help complaining: "What are you thinking about? You don't even look at how big this library is. The place where the Imperial Academy stores books is only in the corner of your building. It's as big as yours." I’m afraid I have to get all the books from all the aristocratic families to fill the space.”
He had seen with his own eyes how many books he had brought back from the Lu family, so many boxes of books were only loosely filled.
Gu Helian turned to look at Xiao Yan: "You too, Xiao Haitang obviously has a lot of books, but after moving in, this place is still empty. Why do you want people to build such a big library? You don't have to look at this library. The inside is shabby.”
Xiao Yan said quietly: "Build it bigger now to avoid expanding it later."
Gu Helian rolled her eyes.
Tang Ning didn't feel bad at all, she just showed the pear dimple: "Fill it slowly, it will always be full."
Rongyue didn't say anything. Since the academy belonged to Tang Ning, she could just like it. Rongyue only thought that now that she had the family fortune of Prince Cheng, she was not short of money. Instead, she could order people to search for it in the markets and other places. Some books, solitary copies.
Rong Yue turned to Tang Ning and asked, "This library is pretty good. When do you plan to officially open it?"
When the masters nearby heard this, they all looked at Tang Ning with burning eyes.
They originally came here to teach and educate people, and besides, they had read all the books just now, and they just wished they could open the hospital immediately.
Tang Ning glanced at Xiao Yan, saw him nodding, and then said, "In three days."
Gu Helian: "The first day of July?"
Tang Ning: "Well, tomorrow I will have people post recruitment notices all over the capital, and then send people to inform Duke Cao and the others."
…
If we say that the hottest thing in Beijing recently is not the previous scandals involving the Lu family and Prince Cheng, nor is it the fact that the fourth prince was injured and suspected of having his face ruined after falling from his horse, it is that Rongsheng Academy in the south of the city, which has been rumored for a long time, will be closed on the first day of July. A plaque and a monument to Wen De.
I heard that on the day of the opening of the academy, Zhongshu ordered Lu Chongyuan to personally hang a plaque for the academy, and the imperial censor Cao Dejiang opened the Wende stele and inscribed it. Even many courtiers would go there. Not only the students in the capital were excited, but also other officials. Local students who came to Beijing in advance to see the "grand event" were also extremely happy.
The night before the first day of July, it rained heavily in Beijing, which had been sunny for several days. When the weather cleared up the next day, the scorching heat seemed to have faded a bit.
Countless people had gathered in front of the mountain road outside Rongsheng Academy to watch the ceremony early. The Beijing Patrol Camp and the Black Armored Guards maintained order, but no one dared to cause chaos. A road was left in front of the academy gate. Whenever a carriage came, the people above would bring it with them. When the congratulatory gift came down and entered the academy gate, it caused a commotion.
"That's the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance."
"That must be Marquis Chengan, I've seen him before."
"The Minister of Industry is also here."
"Oh my god, is that Mr. Ding, the Guanglu doctor? I heard that he is planning to retire. He has not been to court for several days. Why is he here?"
Carriages drove into the front of the academy one after another. As more and more courtiers showed up, more and more people gathered outside.
When Lu Chongyuan and the others arrived in the car, they looked at the sea of people outside and the particularly excited young faces at the front of the crowd.
Even across the carriage, one could hear the extremely excited discussions. The family officials following Lu Chongyuan couldn't help but frown: "Why are there so many people?"
"Don't you know, Mr. Cheng? Before Rongsheng Academy was built, people had already gone to various places to promote the reputation of this academy. During this time, thousands of students rushed to Beijing Middle School from other places, and there were also Some people haven't arrived yet because the journey is too far," said a person next to him.
The official who spoke before suddenly frowned: "It's just a newly built academy, how can it attract so many people?!"
Cui Lin also followed the same way and sneered when he heard this: "Then you have to ask our Lu Zhongshu."
"Of course, ordinary newly built academies can't do it, but Rongsheng Academy has half of the Lu family's collection of books, and the precious relics left by Rong Qian'an. I heard that the unborn Cao Ge of the Cao family personally wrote poems for the academy. , and agree to teach at Rongsheng Academy for two days every month."
"In addition, Rongsheng Academy also invited Shen Ji, Qiu Yichuan, Deng Dehui and others to teach in the academy. None of these are famous people all over the world. Besides, we, Lu Zhongshu, together with Mr. Cao, personally established the academy. Wende Monument, there are rumors that the aristocratic family will also protect this academy, even if it is just for these, there is an endless stream of people who are willing to study."
"Rongsheng Academy is what it is today, thanks to our Lu Zhongshu!"
The words in Cui Lin's mouth were strange. The two people who originally spoke were instantly embarrassed on their faces. Lu Chongyuan looked at Cui Lin with calm eyes.
