Chapter 256 Changes in the Academy

Zhang Zhongqing laughed loudly, grabbed Leng Feng's shoulders, and limped along with Leng Feng. The members of Jinglei Division who were hidden behind the trees on both sides of the road came out to deal with their boss.

Leng Feng looked at Zhang Zhongqing's legs and sighed: "Old Zhang, you suffered a loss once, so you don't know how to improve your memory? Did you have another accident?"

Zhang Zhongqing patted his leg: "It's nothing, it's not an accident, I just fell when running back after lighting the fuze, Dr. Sun said my bones are fine, and it will recover in a few days."

"Oh." Leng Feng blew a whistle, and Taxue ran over, kicking Leng Feng's shoulders with his big head.

"Get on the horse, you go back with Shuwen, and wait for me at my house, I have to deal with some things in the Academy of Arts."

"College of Literature? Well, don't make me wait too long." Zhang Zhongqing patted Taxue's head, seeing that the horse didn't reject him, so he got on the horse.

Ordinary good horses are very particular about their masters, and other riders will resist violently. If the leg doesn't fall, he doesn't mind taming the horse, but if the leg falls, he can only be cowardly.

There are willow trees planted on both sides of the road in the Academy of Arts, and now they are only one person tall. I don’t know what those old gentlemen think, and they are required to only grow willows in the Academy of Arts.

It was the big class break in the morning, and the students were taking advantage of the slightly longer time for entertainment. Some were kicking shuttlecocks, some were playing chess with five or six together, and some were chasing after the teacher despite the ban.

I don't know why, but when Leng Feng proposed to give the students time to have fun and not blindly study to death, none of the old gentlemen objected.

Old Mr. Han Chongwen is a little fat now, which is quite different from his previous skinny appearance.Maybe he was originally fat-prone, but because of his poor family, he had no chance to gain weight.Now the leisurely life of the Academy of Arts and the rich and varied benefits for her husband have given him the opportunity to gain weight.

After saluting each other, Leng Feng said shamelessly: "I've been out for so long, I should have come directly to the academy to plead guilty, but because of some trivial matters, I was delayed for another two days, old man forgive me."

Han Chongwen smiled: "If other gentlemen say that at this time, the old man might not be happy, but since it's you, forget it."

The two walked in side by side, and Han Chongwen said as he walked, "In the final analysis, you founded the Academy of Arts and gave old guys like me who are dying a chance to realize their ambitions.

What do you think we are teaching and educating people for?In addition to realizing ideals, isn't it for Datang?When I was young in the past, I always thought that the court was a cesspit, and that innocent and educated people would stink if they entered it.

Now that I am old, I also understand that you lead troops out to protect our homeland. If you ask anything more at this time, it will be difficult for the strong. "

The two walked to a row of wooden huts. Inside the wooden huts, there were many small officials running around holding blank papers or books.

"I think it is more convenient for the printing machine to be set up in the Academy of Arts. I asked the prince to tell the emperor a few years ago, but I didn't expect His Majesty to agree directly. Now the imperial court's Tianxia Library is very popular. Coupled with His Majesty's order, no matter what The House of Little Book Collection has sent ancient books to the Tianxia Library. The old man thinks that Chang’an is far away, so he plans to build a library in our Academy of Arts, what do you think?"

Leng Feng nodded: "Of course, there are thousands of ways to learn, and you can't become a talent just by learning the words of a family. The students have passed the literacy test, so they must have books to read."

The two continued to walk forward, and when they reached the west wall of the Academy of Arts, Leng Feng laughed.

A small door was opened on the originally tall west wall, and the large piece of uncultivated grass outside the door was reclaimed into a vegetable field, and many students watered the vegetables inside.

"After the incident of sending firewood last time, it didn't take long for those parents to go crazy again, and there was someone who carried a burden to deliver Chinese cabbage to us, saying that winter vegetables are expensive, and the Academy of Arts will inevitably spend money. Bring us some.

After thinking about it for a long time, the old man decided to open up this vegetable field. After class, he would take these children to grow vegetables and exercise. "

The Academy of Arts has changed a lot, and Han Chongwen brought Leng Feng back and forth to show him.

The two wandered around until noon, and even Leng Feng had to say that the adjustments made by the old gentleman to the Academy of Arts were all reasonable.

There is no such thing as a "faculty cafeteria" in the Academy of Arts. It has always been what the students eat and what the gentlemen eat.

After each of them ordered a meal, they squeezed to the dinner table of two old gentlemen, Yu Huanzhi and Yao Silian.

Yao Silian is living a happy life now. He used to stay at home alone and edit history books. Now that he has so many old friends, he can still discuss and discuss some controversial things. He strives to write not too far from the historical track.

Seeing Leng Feng approaching, Yao Silian poked Yu Huanzhi: "Old Yu, here is a guy who has been absent from work for two days without reason, what should we do?"

Yu Huanzhi snorted: "I don't care about it, I don't have enough power, I can only manage students and ordinary gentlemen, but you are a disgraceful (disrespectful) person. You were drunk and hungover yesterday, and you didn't participate in today's morning exercise. What should you do? ?”

Yao Silian could only raise his hands in surrender. Yesterday he edited and usurped Liang's book, but for a while he couldn't tell it apart. It happened that a student had a book by Liang Shi in his family, so he sent it to him.After solving the problem, Yao Silian hosted a banquet in honor of the student's parents, both of them drank too much.

Han Chongwen smiled: "Okay, why are you two fighting when you have nothing to do?"

The two grunted at each other and continued eating.

After eating a bowl of rice and a portion of braised pork, Han Chongwen asked Leng Feng while drinking the soup: "Today, the three princes told us to get ready, saying that we might cut courses and send all the students out for extracurricular activities. Big changes cannot be decided by them. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Leng Feng sighed and told about the locust plague.

Yao Silian let out a long sigh: "It is recorded in "The Five Elements of the Later Han Dynasty": During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 31 locust plagues. In the 28th year of Jianwu, there were "eighty locusts in the prefecture and country", in the fifth year of Yongchu, "Kyuzhou locusts", in the first year of Xiping, "Seven states locust'.

Afterwards, the description of the scene made it difficult for people to talk about it, and it was difficult for the farmers to have surplus food. If there was a real locust plague this time, it was hard to imagine what the scene would be like. "

Yu Huanzhi also sighed: "It's a great thing for you to call on the generals to spend money to save the people, but have you ever thought about it? When the locust plague occurs, the farmland will definitely be fruitless. The food you distribute to refugees can only work for a while, but you can still give them all the time." Distributing food until the locust plague is over?"

Leng Feng smiled faintly: "The generals and the poor treasury alone cannot support these people, so I still have backup."
