Chapter 806: Qingshan Villa (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
Although his back is still straight, but the original gray hair has turned snow, it seems that in the past two years, his words have not been tight, which makes me have a little respect for him, after all, although he is playing the role of cannon fodder for the reform of the imperial examination, but his character is really good, for the construction of the academy, the Minister of Education of the Tang Dynasty has a lot of good words.
I replied respectfully, "Actually, there are a total of 5.4 million volumes of books stored in these 12 buildings. "We're not bragging, there's definitely that number.
"What? 5.4 million copies? Virtuous son-in-law, aren't you bragging? Uncle Li almost fell to the ground with the teacup in his hand, and looked at me in surprise, so I quickly explained to these bigwigs, in fact, the total collection of books is 180,000 volumes, but each book has as many as 30 volumes, in order to prevent some book thieves and bad people who damage the books. And it's also easy for people to borrow.
In addition, there are a lot of rare books that have been handed down have also been revised and printed by my rescue surname, so that their content can continue to be inherited and retained, and a large number of Western classics captured by the Tang Dynasty Academy, under the intervention of Uncle Li's head and the powerful state apparatus of the Tang Empire, the translation work has been strengthened. Textbooks on medicine and medicine are supplied to various relevant departments of Datang, but they are also preserved in the library building.
After all, we have also made due contributions to the inheritance of the knowledge and culture of the Chinese nation and the excavation of the knowledge of ancient Western civilizations. However, I also feel very distressed. Because for the construction and establishment of the academy, for the preservation and printing of books, including the investment in various teaching facilities of the academy, although I have received support and help from all aspects of the Tang Dynasty and the opposition, I have paid nearly 470,000 yuan out of my own pocket.
I was so distressed that Lao Tzu was very depressed for several days, although with the industry in my hand, it only takes less than half a year to earn this 470,000 yuan, but after all, I am just an ordinary person, although I don't value money, but in order to be famous, in order to show myself for the country and the people, and strive for excellence, I spent so much money at once, and I will still have some shadows in my heart.
------------------------------------------------ addition, leading to personal friendship, Uncle Li has announced to the Tang Dynasty that he has spent a lot of money to purchase some unique ancient classics that are only known by his name and not seen, hoping to rescue and protect the ancient knowledge and culture more completely. Of course, it is still the unjust head of Ben Gongzi who pays a lot of money.
Of course, some people looked at me with the eyes of the second fool, thinking that I was full of food, had nothing to do when I had more money, and wanted to be famous and crazy, such as Uncle Cheng, a shameless old horseman, who pulled me aside with his shoulders and back, and seemed to be whispering, but the voice almost deafened my left ear. "Virtuous son-in-law, aren't you crazy? There are millions of books in the collection, and I am afraid that the books printed after the Tang Dynasty will not add up as much as your academy, so why do you print so much? You can't eat it as food, and you can't put yourself into it for nothing, if you are poor and ask for food in the future, you will harm the old man's daughter and grandson, and the old man will not be finished with you. ”
Before Uncle Cheng's words fell, on the side, Uncle Li Ji, who had already formed a deep grudge with Uncle Cheng, rushed over and dragged me away from Uncle Cheng's clutches: "Fart, you old horseman, what the virtuous nephew did changed when it came to your mouth, hurry up and your old boy has been thinking about being in the limelight all day, isn't it?" Don't pay attention to this old guy, virtuous nephew, this academy will be the place that my scholars in the Tang Dynasty yearn for. ”
"Thank you uncle for your praise, my little nephew can't stand it." I smiled and said to Uncle Li Ji. Two old hooligans are fighting openly and secretly, what can I do as a young man, I can only listen to the wind and rain, anyway, we juniors, if you really want to fight, we can persuade one or two from it at most, or we should be referees. There were a few people on the side who watched the excitement and smiled, Uncle Cheng didn't mind, and still grinned happily: "What do you know, Lao Cheng's words are not rough, hehe, isn't it the academy?" It's better to level this place and build a polo field to play......"
Hearing this, everyone who was originally watching the excitement couldn't help but roll their eyes, and even Uncle Li Ji couldn't help but stomp his foot and point at Uncle Cheng and scolded with a smile: "Old horseman, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." ”
As for Kong Yingda and other civil servants, they were even more angry, and repeatedly reprimanded Uncle Cheng for insulting Sven, and finally Uncle Li stood up to mediate before it was calmed down. Later, I took Uncle Li and his gang to other buildings, and in the lawn on the edge of a large square, there were more than a dozen groups of sculptures of different shapes and shapes.
There are Confucius imparting knowledge to his disciples, Confucius asking Lao Tzu for advice, Sima Qian writing historical records, Cai Lun making paper, Cangjie making characters, Meng Kuo pen making and other classic allusions, of course, there are also children sitting under the tree holding a scroll to read the silly state, in short, these sculpture groups are more attractive to these old ministers.
"Yes, it's all vivid, like a real person, it's very meaningful." The old man also showed a smile at me, which was regarded as a compliment to me, and as for Uncle Li, he was even more happy, standing in front of the statue of Confucius respectfully bowing his body and asking Lao Tzu, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time, as if he was the reincarnation of Lao Tzu, and his expression seemed a little fluttering.
And Kong Yingda turned a blind eye to this, and was silent for a long time in front of the Confucius apprenticeship sculpture group, with a look of fascination, well, very good, Uncle Li and Kong Yingda seem to have found their own spiritual sustenance. But below, a lot of shameless people are squeezing their eyebrows, for these people, I can only pretend not to see these small actions, but humbly continue to ask the old man what needs to be improved.
"Hehehe, Erlang, to be honest, this place is so well repaired, it is beyond my father's expectations, but you must remember not to slack off, to do things, you have to have a beginning and an end, remember not to give up halfway." I love to hear what the old man says, and we don't do things like the kind of rooster with a hard head, but we can start with, well, it seems a little inappropriate to describe my style of doing things with that thing, in short, I will definitely continue to cut through the thorns and thorns forward, and strive to become a promising person who is the guiding light of the Datang academic community.
Then, in order to liven up the atmosphere, I led the old men out of this office building, and walked slowly towards the Qingshan villa area along the long stairway paved with bluestone. Well, we don't like messing around with names. "Castle Hill Villa District? Tsk, this name is also fresh, but it's too vulgar. "General Zhang Liang and General Zhang looked pedantic, and on the side, Uncle Cheng and other veteran ruffians had a very agreeing expression, and I wanted to kick people when I saw it.
------------------------------------------------ it didn't take long for the white-walled and red-tiled villas to appear in people's sight one by one, and when the cool mountain breeze rustled the leaves all over the mountain, no one finally said that our name was tacky.
Finally, I led Uncle Li and the others to a villa that had been built, and the green vines had climbed all over one of the walls, the snow-white carved railing, the wide second-floor platform, the chic flower beds and lawns in the front garden, the beautiful fountains, and the beautiful sculptures of mythological characters, all of which seemed so beautiful and peaceful.
Each villa has a total of more than 60 rooms, large and small, between the height of the villa, there is also a covered bridge connection, when it rains, you don't need to bring an umbrella, you can shuttle through the platform, watch the rain or snow.
And the toilets are built in the villa, but due to the use of large windows and walls for ventilation, so that people stay in the toilet will not smell, but also the use of the toilet type, toilet mat and toilet lid we are designed to have a sense of art, and for the convenience of people, we have also prepared some Tang newspaper at your fingertips, so that some people with special hobbies can squat while looking, and also kill time.
This point made Uncle Cheng and a group of senior generals of the Tang Dynasty curious the most. Uncle Cheng personally tried it and said that this thing is definitely a hundred times better than his thatched house. thinks that after this rectification, he doesn't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes when he squats in the pit, and he can even squat here and read poems and newspapers, making going to the toilet a kind of enjoyment.
Although everyone expressed varying degrees of contempt for Uncle Cheng's words, they all privately thought that this kind of toilet was indeed much better than their own, General Zhang Liang even dragged me and quietly asked me, I quickly patted my chest and packed the ticket, as long as this old man is willing, another day, I will let Fang Zhu let him go, and build such a toilet for his family, what is this, it doesn't cost a few dollars, and there are favors to take, so don't do it.
