Chapter 1262: It is difficult for a strong man
What Xin Wei said is true, today's Ming Dynasty is indeed developing rapidly, especially in the construction of various prefectures, most of them are converted to houses made of cement. Mao Wenlong had already witnessed this with his own eyes when he was in the capital of Guangzhou! So I didn't doubt what Xin Wei said.
However, Mao Wenlong began to worry in his heart, and the current Ming Dynasty has begun to slowly change the architectural style. It is estimated that in the future, the old buildings that were originally preserved will disappear.
But this is just Mao Wenlong's concern, compared to the disappearance of the Ming Dynasty, some ancient buildings are gone, and it doesn't matter. When you look at things, you have to have a priority!
The entire academy has expanded to the entire Qingzhou Mansion, and the land of one mansion can be completed all at once. At present, Mao Wenlong has been sitting in the carriage for a long time, but he has not even finished a quarter of the academy. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Mao Wenlong also gave up the idea of looking any further, and instead asked Xin Wei to return to the place where he lived.
The academy is divided into the inner academy and the outer academy, and the place where Mao Wenlong lived was naturally the inner academy, which was also the first academy to be established. It is still the courtyard at the foot of the mountain behind the academy, and Mao Wenlong's departure did not cause this place to be deserted.
The carriage stopped outside the courtyard, and Mao Wenlong got out of the carriage and saw Hong Ziyan and Chen Lan. The two daughters stood under the eaves of the wooden house, looking at Mao Wenlong who was walking towards them, their faces were filled with happiness.
Hong Ziyan has been by Mao Wenlong's side these days, so she took the initiative not to lean up, but nodded at Mao Wenlong, and then pulled her daughter back to the house first.
Two years have passed, and although the years have not made Chen Lan old, she is still familiar to Mao Wenlong. But whether the years are a pig-killing knife, or some subtle traces are carved on Chen Lan's face.
Mao Wenlong took a step forward, stretched out his hand and slowly hugged Chen Lan into his arms, Chen Lan did not feel any discomfort. When she was hugged into her arms, she felt the warmth and security she had not seen for a long time, and the tears in the corners of her eyes quietly slipped down, and suddenly wet a large piece of the clothes on Mao Wenlong's shoulders.
Feeling Chen Lan's slightly shrouded body, Mao Wenlong's hands tightened slightly, and then softly comforted: "Okay, don't cry, shouldn't you be happy when Xianggong comes back." ”
Others said 10,000 words of comfort, which was not as effective as Mao Wenlong's eyes, Chen Lan quickly held back his tears and buried his head deep in Mao Wenlong's arms.
Standing aside and watching others Wen Cun, Xin Wei, the dean, is not leaving, nor is he leaving, and he feels inappropriate to open his mouth to remind him. When he was embarrassed, Mao Wenlong finally let go of Chen Lan, but still put one hand around her waist and raised his foot into the house.
Xin Wei, who was ignored again, could only leave by himself boringly, obviously, if he followed up, he would definitely only be a superfluous person.
After dusk, Mao Wenlong accompanied the second daughter to have a good meal, and then went to wash up, and with a comfortable mood, asked Adou to find Xin Wei.
In the small hall, Mao Wenlong leisurely tasted fragrant tea, and Xin Wei arrived in the company of Adou after a while. After saluting, Xin Wei said bluntly: "Chief soldier, the journey is tiring, and we won't talk about it tomorrow if there is something." ”
Mao Wenlong put down the teacup, motioned for Xin Wei to sit down, shook his head and said, "No need, the matter of arranging Yiwai students is urgent, and it must be completed within a month." This also includes the gentlemen who need to teach knowledge, and there is no delay. ”
Xin Wei frowned, as the dean, he couldn't know much about the things in the academy. It is not an easy thing to expand the academy to open classes for students from other countries, if you add what Mao Wenlong said just now, you also need to add the gentleman who teaches knowledge, then this matter will be even more difficult, and it will be completed within a month, which makes Xin Wei suddenly feel desperate.
"Chief soldier, this can't be done in a month." Xin Wei did not hesitate to tell the truth.
"I don't care about the rest, in short, you have to complete this matter within a month, otherwise you will not be spared." Mao Wenlong immediately became tough, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
Xin Wei's whole face suddenly collapsed, Mao Wenlong was simply embarrassing himself like this?
Fortunately, Mao Wenlong then said: "Of course, if you have any difficulties, you can raise them now, and this general soldier can try to open the door for you to make it easier." ”
Xin Wei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, Mao Wenlong opened his mouth like this, he could talk about all the problems, so as not to make himself anxious.
"The chief soldier, first of all, is the place where the school is run. There is really no place to run a school in Qingzhou Prefecture, do you think it can be changed to another place? Xin Wei immediately threw out the first problem.
Every expansion of the academy was carried out after careful research and discussion, and the entire Qingzhou Mansion was now so full that there was no room for it. Now, if you want to quickly settle a place to run a school, you can only choose a site from another place.
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said affirmatively: "The site must be in Qingzhou Mansion, and the worst can only be in adjacent places." Now think about it, are there any vacant places in this area? ”
Xin Wei was very embarrassed, but he had no way to disobey Mao Wenlong's order, so he could only frown and ponder. After a long time, I saw Xin Wei hesitantly say: "Chief soldier, there is still a place to use on Antonwei's side, but that place has always been a place for the academy to test the power of gunpowder explosions. Originally, it was a small hill, but now it has almost been leveled, if you can, the general soldiers will move to see it together? ”
Mao Wenlong: It doesn't matter where it is, even if it's a garbage dump. Subsequently, Mao Wenlong didn't say a word, and even set off to check with Xin Wei.
In order to reach the destination as soon as possible, Mao Wenlong directly used a hot air balloon to go. The hot air balloon lifted off in the academy and arrived at Anton Wei in just one hour. The two got off the hot air balloon but did not see any local officials come to greet them, apparently because they had been informed by Xin Wei earlier, so they did not have to come to disturb them.
The open space under Mao Wenlong's feet at the moment is indeed very large, after all, it is a hill that has been leveled. The potholed ground will kick up dazzling dust when the wind blows, Mao Wenlong narrowed his eyes slightly, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Xin Wei didn't have the slightest happy expression, he still had a sad face, and stepped forward to Mao Wenlong and said, "Chief soldier, there is only this place left for now." But if this place is used to run a school, it will be convenient to test gunpowder weapons in the future. ”
Mao Wenlong said indifferently: "The place where gunpowder is tested can be found elsewhere, and this place is used to run a school, so there is no need to discuss." ”
