Chapter 216: Honorary Academician
Celebrities are also fried and praised, Zhang Chao himself will be fried, and there are many people who come to praise it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Qi and Wei Zheng are also celebrities, but Pei Shiju and Zheng Shanguo are even more veteran celebrities. The successive arrival of these people made the opening ceremony of Bailu Academy even more lively. Especially these four people are all high-ranking officials of the East Palace, which made the onlookers who came to watch today deeply shocked.
However, the sedan chair carries people, and people like the icing on the cake.
After the arrival of the four people from the East Palace, many more people came one after another. There are not only ordinary people who come to see the excitement, but also many famous families of the noble family, even the wealthy families of Guanlong, and even the nouveau riche of military achievements, relatives of the emperor and the country, all of whom also rushed to support the scene to save face.
What Cui Zheng Wang Lu, Wei Du Pei Yang, Xue Liu Xiao Chen, Dugu Changsun, more and more people are coming, and the luxurious carriages, tall horses, and groups of wealthy slaves have occupied the dirt road.
Later carriages could only stop and dismount at great distances.
Zhang Chao is no longer than in the past, who knows Zhang Chao in the past, it is just the son of a military general under the command of King Qin. Yizi is not worth much, many generals have collected hundreds of Yizi, each of them gives face, and he gives it.
But today's Zhang Chao is different, not to mention that he married a woman with five surnames, just the prince washing the horse on Zhang Chao's head is very amazing. What's more, today's Zhang Sanlang is still a man who wrote the three-character scripture and made the Zhang family rules.
A three-character scripture and a Zhang family rule have caused Chang'an paper to be expensive.
The whole Chang'an is now spreading these two articles, copying these two articles, and under the hype and touting of the heart, Zhang Sanlang has really become a rising star.
Now that you go out and meet an acquaintance, if you don't mention a few words about the three-character scriptures of the Zhang family, you are embarrassed to say that you are also from Chang'an.
Now even Guozijian sacrificial wine regards these two articles as must-read articles for thousands of students in Guozijian, and I heard that the old sacrificial wine also asked students to copy it ten times each.
Although many famous families in Chang'an also have their own family rules and family mottos, they now also let their children copy the Zhang family rules and let them study them seriously.
Zhangjiagou is very lively today.
A large group of wealthy families, scholars, and nobles all made an appointment to ride horses to Zhangjiagou in a car. Anyway, being idle at home is also idle, it is rare that the weather is sunny and sunny today, come here to watch the new celebrities, and you can also take an outing by the way, killing two birds with one stone.
At the beginning, those people who just came to see the excitement saw this group of noble and wealthy people coming, and they were still a little scared, looking at people's fresh clothes and angry horses, famous cars and horses.
But later I found out that all of them came to support Zhang Saburo, and no one cared about them. They also began to get used to this scene, especially when they found that many people still brought their ladies and maids, and they found that they were actually quite beautiful just looking at them.
So, before the main drama began, those villagers squatted on the side of the road in groups, looking at those officials and nobles, young nobles, famous women, and beautiful maids. Some people even drooled, ouch, they grew so big, they had never seen such a fairy-like person.
The villagers also yearn for that kind of high society, in fact, in their eyes, the upper class is also luxurious carriages, majestic mounts, beautiful saddles, and beautiful rings, plus their gorgeous clothes, grand pomp......
Looking at other people's famous cars and horses, beautiful clothes and beautiful women, they squatted there to substitute themselves, fantasizing that they were the sons and daughters that everyone touted, this kind of thing, the more I think about it, the more it tastes.
Zhang Chao is still very polite to these people who come to cheer. He clearly understands that the so-called celebrity is also a celebrity, and a celebrity naturally has to be famous, where does the fame come from?
It is not enough to have the ability, there are more talented and capable people, but they may not be able to become celebrities. Baume & Mercier has to have the ability and fame. Fame depends on hype.
Zhang Chao was very polite to these Chang'an romantic characters who came to increase his fame, others praised him, he immediately wanted to take back three or five sentences, Zhang Chao's mouth, but in the city of Zhaozhou to persuade the enemy general to defect, the two mouths touched, that is a good word.
Those officials, brothers, and sons of famous families, were praised by Zhang Chao, the new celebrity, and couldn't help but flutter, it turns out that I am so respected by Zhang Daming.
Feeling satisfied, they naturally touted Zhang Chaolai more and more.
In the afternoon, the already lively opening ceremony became more and more lively and grand.
There are hundreds of Guogong County and County Gonggong who came to the scene today, Zhang Chao really didn't know that there were so many Guogong in Datang, and what came today is only some of these dukes, but there are hundreds of people.
It turns out that Zhang Chao is quite proud of himself as a viscount, but now he compares, mother, it's not enough to support people's feet, if he doesn't have an official position of a prince washing horses and a new celebrity, who will pay attention to him.
Think about it, there are four or five brothers in a family, and the result is either the prince of the country or the county duke, such an indiscriminate seal can be regarded as a tradition since the Northern Dynasties, anyway, the jue is mostly a false seal. And except for those top-level meritorious ministers, they are generally demoted to the throne, and they are removed after a few generations.
Only those who have made great contributions will give some real titles, and give special orders so that their children will not be demoted to the rank of lord.
Thinking of the viscount of Wu'an County that he had worked so hard to earn, when his son inherited it, he could only inherit a Wu'an County man, and when he was his grandson, he would become a flat-headed common man again, Zhang Chao always felt very unconvinced.
How can I earn a national prince in this life, so that I have a chance to pass on a few more generations.
Under the support of these wealthy nobles of Chang'an, the opening ceremony of Bailu Academy was very lively and successful. Pei Shiju, Zheng Shanguo and other representatives of several high-ranking officials of the state and county took the stage to speak in turn, and then the singers sang, and the dancing girls danced, and the music class played and played, and there were more juggling teams playing acrobatics in the back, which was really lively, causing countless onlookers to applaud.
In the end, Zhang Chao asked 200 new students to play in turn, Zhang Chao, Ma Zhou and four teachers, and gave them new uniforms, school bags, paper, ink, pens, inkstones, and textbooks.
This link attracted many nobles from Chang'an and were very interested.
After a while, these students changed into new uniforms, carried new school bags, and reluctantly lined up a few phalanxes in the open space under the stage, which attracted bursts of exclamations.
Two hundred six-year-old children, dressed in uniform and neat new school uniforms, although the line is not very neat, but in their opinion, it is already very good.
The climax of the opening ceremony was that Wang Qi and Wei Zheng, on behalf of the crown prince, rewarded Bailu Academy with ten taels of gold as the funds for running the college.
Wang Qi donated 1,000 yuan himself, and Wei Zheng also donated 1,000.
Zheng Shanguo came to the stage and donated 3,000, he didn't bring so much cash, but it didn't matter, he wrote a piece of paper and went back to make up for it. No one would doubt that the dignified civil department, the Shangshu of Dali, the Siqing and the prince Zuo Shuzi would rely on the three thousand dollars.
Pei Shiju also donated 3,000.
Then, the scene became a donation conference, and a group of nobles from Chang'an also came up to donate.
Zhang Chao immediately arranged for Ma Zhou to take the account book and start recording, and directly announced that he would invite someone to erect a large stone tablet at the gate of the academy, and engrave all the donors and the amount of money and food donated by them on it.
Originally, some people planned to donate one or twenty yuan casually, but when they heard this, they wanted to erect a monument to record their names. Hey, this can't be too little, otherwise it won't look good engraved on it.
The second update!
So, the minimum is 100 yuan.
Steward Zhang stood next to Ma Zhou with his voice in his voice, and every time Ma Zhou registered the next donation, the housekeeper sang loudly. Then there are big cows, two cows, pillars, bolts, etc., and the Zhang family servants and mercenary groups will repeat with ten times the sound.
Each donation will be recorded at the end and engraved on the Thanksgiving Monument. In addition, I assure you that every donation will be used for the running of Bailu Academy, and we will not embezzle half of it. I will make a special account book for these donations, and every month in the future, I will publicize the expenses and expenses of the money, and announce the balance, and at the end of each year, I will also make a general ledger publicity. ”
On the VIP seat over there, Pei Shiju said to Zheng Shanguo with a smile, "This Zhang Sanlang is really reasonable and orderly, and he is worthy of being a person who can write the hospital's nursing regulations." ”
"This kid has always been." Zheng Shanguo said with some pride.
Zhang Chao also stood on the stage and shouted vigorously, "For all of you who donated to the academy today, the academy has decided to award all donors the title of honorary academician of Bailu Academy, and give you a certificate of honorary academician!" ”
Give the title of honorary academician, and it doesn't cost money anyway. Issuing a certificate is actually just a piece of paper to write and then stamp, which is not beneficial, but it can make these donors feel special.
Taking a glass of honey water from the plug, Zhang Chao moistened his throat, then leaned over to Ma Zhou's side and asked in a low voice, "How many donations have you received?" ”
"Not counting the prince's twenty taels of gold, it has exceeded three hundred yuan so far, but most of them are white, and the cash is less than half."
Hearing the number of three hundred, Zhang Chao was secretly happy, this is an unexpected gain. Three hundred guan, plus the prince's twenty taels of gold, is nearly five hundred.
Now the school has only 200 students and four teachers, and 500 is 500,000. It turned out that Zhang Chao also planned to subsidize some money every year to run the school, but he didn't expect that the academy was completely self-sufficient now.
It seems that in the future, I will come here once or twice a year, and I will also hold a fundraiser. Make it lively, and finally find these rich people to make a point, and you will have a year's expenses.
"Don't be afraid to collect white slips, when I turn around, I will let people take the slips to Chang'an City door to door to collect them, they will never be able to cheat for one or two hundred dollars." Zhang Chao said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
