Chapter 1045: Nanshan Academy
In the Nanshan Academy, Cui Gan stood in front of the library building at the back, personally directing his subordinates to move boxes of books inside, and placed them according to the classification, these books were donated by various great families behind him, and many of them were still secret collections of the family, which were rare for ordinary people to see.
"This time, the major families are really bleeding, and our Zheng family alone has donated tens of thousands of books, some of which were copied by me when I was studying!" At this moment, a middle-aged man standing next to Cui Gan said with some emotion, this person is Zheng Zhong, the representative of the Zheng family, and next to him, Cui Fu'an of the Qinghe Cui family is also here.
"Our Cui family donated more books, and some of the elders of this clan even lost their temper, saying that we were a loser." Cui Fu'an, who was next to him, also smiled helplessly at this time.
Their Qinghe Cui clan has many talents, and the collection of books in the clan is also the largest, so this time they also contributed a lot, but because there are too many people in the clan, it is inevitable that there will be some objections, especially some older people, who are also the most stubborn in their thinking, in their opinion, the collection of books in the clan is the foundation of the prosperity of the family, so they are not willing to donate it anyway.
"Those who can work hard, your Qinghe Cui clan has a lot of books, and you should donate more, as for the people who oppose it in the clan, there will be some in almost any big family, especially some older elders, after all, not everyone can be as far-sighted as Cui Gong!" Zheng Zhong also smiled again at this time, and praised Cui Gan by the way.
Zheng Zhong has the ability and ambition, there are very few people in the family who can convince him, and Cui Gan happens to be one of them, especially the idea of opening a academy this time, it is Cui Gan who was the first to put forward it, I have to say that this idea is very bold, after all, not everyone has the courage to take out the collection of books in the family, and they have to teach publicly, if something goes wrong in the future, I am afraid it will only accelerate the collapse of the family.
"I can't say that, many people in the clan oppose and oppose the reason, but now we are facing a big change that has not been seen in hundreds of years, if we don't do anything, then we can only watch our family decline!" Cui Gan also heard the conversation between Zheng Zhong and Cui Fu'an at this time, and he also turned his head and interjected at the moment.
"What Gong Cui said is very true, and I don't know why God sent down Li Xiu, this demon, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to be forced to this point!" Zheng Zhong couldn't help but sigh at this time and said, in the past hundreds of years, no matter how the dynasty changed, even if it was the invasion of the northern barbarians, it could not shake the foundation of their family, but now just because of one Li Xiu, they were forced to give up the biggest advantage of the family, although they could win over those outstanding students in the future, but they were not as reassuring as the children of the family.
"Li Xiu is indeed a genius in the world, the Turks were so powerful at the beginning, but in the end they were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, Li Xiu played a very key role in this matter, and now he is forcing us to the point where we have to change with his own strength." When Li Xiu was mentioned, Cui Gan also showed a very serious expression, and then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, our Nanshan Academy, in fact, I also learned it from Li Xiu!" ”
"Learned from Li Xiu?" When Zheng Zhong and Cui Fu'an heard Cui Gan's words, they almost said in unison, and the shocked expressions on their faces were almost identical.
"Hehe, don't be so surprised, the academy was originally the first thing Li Xiu proposed, such as the military academy, although it is a place to train military generals, but in fact, there is no essential difference from the academy, in addition, he also built a new academy next to his house, at first it was just used to let some children from poor families read and write, so that they can have a skill in the future, but now it is slowly becoming a academy, but the things taught are different from ours." Cui Gan smiled again at this time, Li Xiu forced them to this point, but he learned how to deal with it from the other party, and it is estimated that Li Xiu will feel very depressed when he knows it.
"I see!" Cui Fu'an couldn't help but nod thoughtfully when he heard Cui Gan's words, although he and Li Xiu had different positions, they sometimes had to admire Li Xiu's talent.
"Let's go, I'm almost done reading, I'll take you to the academy for a walk!" Cui Gan spoke again at this time, Zheng Zhong and Cui Fuan both have official positions, and they usually don't have time to come here at all, and today is also the first time to come, as the mountain chief here, he is naturally obliged to take them to visit.
Zheng Zhong and Cui Fu'an naturally couldn't ask for it, so under the leadership of Cui Gan, they walked around the academy, the whole academy was built on the top of a hill, the top of this hill is flat, enough to accommodate a academy, and the academy is also divided into teaching, accommodation and other areas, there is also a clear separation between different areas, some people from the first family have already moved in to familiarize themselves with the environment, most of these people are gentlemen of the academy, and the rest are some students who will go to school here, after all, this is the academy run by the family, Therefore, some students from families do not have to go through the assessment to enroll in the school at all.
In the end, Cui Gan and the three of them came to the library building again, and then climbed to the top floor of this residential building, which is also the highest point of the college, standing here can overlook a radius of 100 miles, and the farmland and roads under the mountain are also clearly visible, but it is a pity that there are several peaks around that are higher than this hill, otherwise some of the three of them may make a poem of "seeing all the mountains at a glance", then there will be nothing to do with Du Fu in later generations.
"Hey, are those people under the mountain also coming to the academy?" At this moment, Cui Fu'an suddenly pointed to a mountain road at the bottom of the mountain and asked in surprise, only to see that the mountain road was crowded with a lot of pedestrians and carriages, and it looked like a group of ants crawling slowly on the mountain road.
Hearing Cui Fu'an's words, Zheng Zhong also looked down, and found that this group of people seemed to be pulling a lot of things, but looking at the direction they were heading, it didn't look like they were coming from the academy.
"Those should be people in the palace, there is a palace of His Majesty nearby, I heard that the weather has been hot recently, His Majesty wants to escape the heat in the palace, so during this time, people in the palace often pull things to the palace." Cui Gan looked at the pedestrians under the mountain, and said that he didn't care much, the design of the palace in Chang'an is particularly hot and humid every summer, so Li Shimin often goes out to escape the heat in the summer, and he doesn't care much about it.
"Escape the heat? Why didn't we have any news in advance? Cui Fu'an couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, if Li Shimin went out to escape the summer, he would definitely need their Ministry of Rites to arrange it, but he didn't hear any news in advance, which was too strange.
