Yan Shigu's words actually made Xia Hongsheng's mind shine.

In order to retain doctoral students in a certain field to teach, universities in later generations often offered generous conditions, one of which was to arrange housing. For example, the university where Xia Hongsheng was in his later life had two high-rise buildings, both of which were finely decorated two-bedroom and one-bedroom living rooms, which were for qualified teachers to live. There is also a separate villa area reserved for those who wish to come to the university for a doctorate or above. Doctors or above are willing to teach here, and go up to send a villa directly, plus scientific research funds.

Xia Hongsheng wants to build Jingyang Academy into an academic holy place like Peking University and Tsinghua University in the Republic of China, and famous teachers are indispensable. The environment of Jingyang Academy, Xia Hongsheng is confident enough, if he builds another villa area, won't the chances of attracting those academic masters to stay will be much greater!

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Hongsheng immediately said to Yan Shigu: "That's just right, the student is about to go to the academy." The college has a pleasant scenery, and the students are choosing a quiet place in the college to design some houses so that the students can invite the teacher to live in. ”

"Master Yan, Uncle Xu, you arrived so early, I'm afraid you came hungry. Let's go eat something first! Xia Hongsheng said to everyone.

led everyone back to the market, ate something, and went straight to Jingyang Academy.

When I arrived at Jingyang Academy, the current gate looks simple, like a stone tower, but it is not a tower, just a towering narrow boulder, with the four characters of Jingyang Academy written on it, and it is also ink-stained. Those four characters are written to wander unbridledly. Flying white as a cloud. When he saw it, he immediately called Xu Xiaode to say a good word. In addition to this boulder, there are a few scattered flying stones on both sides, and when you look closely, you find that the low flying stones are not stones, but made of cement, but houses.

Behind the door is a long slope, on both sides of which are smooth and open steps of cement, and the green shadow is swaying in the middle. Go up along the line. But it was a large open space, all hardened, and the house in front of it was somewhat similar to the building of the military academy, but it was different. Looking far away, it is endless, and the eaves behind the mountains in the forest are exposed, and there is a secluded world.

The sound of bamboo is like Xiao, far away like a mysterious ancient song, and soft pouring like water. The grass and trees are colorful, and the delicate and soft petals dance like dancers. Take a turn ahead. In front of you, the mountains are abrupt and rugged, and the stones there are exquisitely poetic, like the ingenuity of nature's skilled craftsmen.

"It's a big place!" Xu Hui exclaimed.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "If Jingyang Academy is completed, it will cover an area of nearly 5,000 acres, which can accommodate 50,000 teachers and students to live and study together. Now it is only the first phase of the project, and the construction will continue to be carried out - but it will take a long time to complete it. ”

Those who say it are understated, but those who listen are astonished. Covering an area of nearly 5,000 acres, which is the specification of a royal garden, it is Yi Yan Shigu and Xu Xiaode who are both shocked.

"Master Yan, Uncle Xu, please rest assured, Your Majesty has already approved this matter." Xia Hongsheng knew what they were worried about, so he said again.

The two were surprised again, and Xu Xiaode asked, "Is this ...... Your Majesty would allow it? ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and explained: "Your Majesty naturally made a request. First, ideological and political courses are also offered in Jingyang Academy, and second, once the students who have graduated from Jingyang Academy are requisitioned by the imperial court, they cannot shirk it. Thirdly, the day-to-day operation of Jingyang Academy must be supervised by someone appointed by His Majesty, who will truthfully report the affairs of Jingyang Academy directly to His Majesty. However, after Weichen's efforts, His Majesty promised this person to just ignore it and truthfully report the matter of Jingyang Academy to His Majesty, but he did not manage the decision-making and did not make any suggestions. However, when Jingyang Academy made a decision, it could not avoid it. Fourth, all the money needed for the construction of Jingyang Academy needs to be borne by Weichen himself, and the imperial court will not allocate a penny. Fifth...... His Majesty made it clear that he would install spies and spies in Jingyang Academy. ”

Yan Shigu and Xu Xiaode looked at each other, stunned for a long time, Xu Xiaode exhaled, and said with a surprised expression: "Your Majesty is really ...... Broad-minded......"

"Your Majesty is just worried that Jingyang Academy will be too big, so that it will form a party and give birth to turmoil." Xia Hongsheng understood what they meant, so he said: "Your Majesty and I have already put this matter on the surface, as long as I am still in the day, I will definitely not teach Your Majesty to worry about what happens, as long as Your Majesty does not interfere in the academic professorship of Jingyang Academy, this is the only one." As for the rest, whatever arrangements His Majesty makes, I will not object at all and will actively cooperate. In fact, the two of you don't have to worry, what Your Majesty is good at, isn't it just a trick to 'turn it into your own'? How many capable generals in the current dynasty were even enemies of His Majesty before, but now they are also loyal to His Majesty? I once compared Datang to a carriage in front of His Majesty, and the person who drove the horse was His Majesty, running towards a eternal eternal prosperity. And Jingyang Academy is the place I prepared for Your Majesty to domesticate the horses that pull carts. As for the reins, they are still in the hands of His Majesty after all! ”

Xia Hongsheng looked at this piece of Jingyang Academy, which had no end in sight, and his heart suddenly surged.

Jingyang Academy is built according to the topography and mountains, not all of them are smooth roads, sometimes along the platform, sometimes down the mountain, sometimes winding paths, sometimes peaks and loops. The construction of Jingyang Academy is good, and when you are outside it, you can't see any depth, only by being in it, can you feel all the wonders here.

Xia Hongsheng built Jingyang Academy according to the specifications of the "5A" scenic spot in later generations, anyway, Xia Hongsheng is not short of money now. Xia Hongsheng is a low-key person, but in fact, he is already a monopoly leader of Datang. Datang Royal Liquor Workshop, Glass Workshop, Coal, Tea, these four are monopolized by Xia Hongsheng, and the market for these four things is huge, with a variety of different degrees of liquor, the world's three pulp is very rare, and the production of the glass workshop is so crowded that the glass products brought by Hu Shang have no market. Not to mention the tea leaves, I haven't seen anyone drink sencha like before now. Coal, now in the big families in Chang'an City, the coal stove at home is a must-have, and the kitchen has also changed to a coal stove, burning honeycomb coal is much more convenient than burning firewood.

So Xia Hongsheng is not short of money now!

Moreover, Jingyang Academy cannot be completely built all at once, Xia Hongsheng can make some money, build some, and continue to come.

"No wonder they were full of praise for Jingyang Academy after they went back, hehe, when they saw it today, even the old man was a little tempted. I thought that if I preached and taught here, it would be a blessing in life! Yan Shigu said with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng's eyes lit up: "The student has already prepared a residence for Master Yan, if Master Yan wants to come to Jingyang Academy to live and relax, preach and teach, he can do so at any time!" (To be continued.) )
