Chapter 196 Three Blessings (3)

"That's exactly the reason. 【】Tomorrow, I will go to see Mr. Ji. I broke my foot and I want sponsorship. This matter must be done." Song Ping was moved, and his tone was very firm.

The students at the table were all from relatively poor families but loved reading, and they all showed excitement.

"Okay, it's good to have this kind of heart. But there's no need to beg grandpa to tell grandma for the time being." After that, he drew 1000 taels of silver from his sleeve and said to Song Ping, "This is my share. You take the money first , find a quieter place in the city, and build the academy first. Be generous, don’t rent it, just buy it. Buy a place, repair it, and repair it with a bit of scholarly style. If you get muddy legs Like a farmhouse, probably no one would be interested in sponsoring it. Then they took out the title of erecting a monument, called rich households with some money in the city, and asked the academy to visit, explain while visiting, and finally In front of everyone, I ask for sponsorship. If the operation is good, the cost of the academy for three or four years can be collected at once. The next step is to rely on your hard work. If you can make one or two achievements in the big exam next year, the name of the academy will also be awarded. Just type it out, and this righteous school will prosper for a long time, and then invite some famous Confucian scholars to come to the academy to give lectures, and it may not be impossible to build an academy on the same level as the Great Academy."

This time, since there are details, there are big details.While speaking so that everyone was convinced, they were also agitated. They never thought that Yixue could also help in such a situation.

The key is that there is a 1000 tael bank note on the table, and what was originally only imagined can become a reality in an instant.

Su San said again, "You are the first batch, and you have done a lot of things. Whether you can do it successfully depends entirely on you. Do you want to have your name engraved on the monument in the future? If you want, let go Have the courage to do it. Even if you can't become famous people through the ages, you may create opportunities for many famous people through the ages. It is rare for you to catch up with such a thing."

Song Ping said excitedly, "This is worth doing. Brother Ning Yuan, please give the academy a name."

"Yes, brother Ning Yuan, let's give the academy a name." Everyone shouted.It draws everyone's attention here.

Su San didn't hesitate, thought for a while and said, "They're all called academies, which doesn't show how special our academies are. Since everyone asked me to take them, I'll use a new name, 'University'."

"University? Let's study together? Good. It also has the essence of righteousness in it. It's a good name." Song Pingmo said.

Everyone also shouted together, "Well, okay, let's call it a university. However, just calling it a university is too monotonous, let's give it another name."

Su San smiled and said, "For the name, just use the place name."

"Wuling University?"

"Wuling University. Well, it's 'Wuling University'."

Liu Jian snorted coldly and said, "What Wuling University is really unheard of, I advise you not to be too unconventional, 1000 taels, there is not much money left to buy a few houses. I am so happy, when I cry, Let’s talk about it when we get the money.”

Song Ping went to Liu Jian to pour cold water on their happiness, and he didn't want to see him at all, and he was even more angry now.Facing Liu Jiandao, "It's a villain's opinion, fortunately other people are not like you."

"You." Liu Jian was about to curse.

The person at the same table stopped him and said, "Why bother with them, and let's see how they make trouble."

As soon as this was said, two old men came in by the courtyard gate, one was Mr. Liu and the other was Mr. Xu.Both of them are old officials who have retired from the capital and are living in Wuling for the elderly.

There were some disciples at the scene, so as soon as the two entered, many officials, big and small, stood up and saluted.The two elders also clasped their hands as they walked, and occasionally stopped to say a few words, Zhou Ji had already walked down the steps to meet him, but the two of them arrived at Su San, so they walked over together.He smiled at Su San, "Little friend Ningyuan."

Su San was listening to the conversation on the table over there, but didn't pay attention to the second elder coming in.They are all fishing friends who fish together, so they are naturally very familiar.He stood up unhurriedly and saluted.

The two elders also have some status in the altar. Xuezheng sends students to take the Jinling University Examination every three years, and the list must be given to the two elders as a courtesy.Therefore, no matter how dare the students offend the two, they all stood up together when they saw the two elders approaching.

"Is the second elder healthy? It's raining these days, but I haven't seen the second elder for a while."

The two smiled at Su San while letting the students sit down.Old Liu said, "Well, I heard that today is also your great joy?"

Su San chuckled, knowing that Elder Ji must have informed the elders about himself and Ren Yingying in advance, scratched his head and said, "Today is just a wedding, and when we have a drink later, the elders will pack a big red envelope." Just do it."

Elder Xu smiled and said, "If you want to take our gift money, then do it early, otherwise we won't be able to wait that long."

"That's just a joke, Ning Yuan's elders are strong! If it's really black and white, Ning Yuan will punch them back. What a joke, they are not allowed to make trouble before giving gifts."

The second elder laughed, "This kid is too crazy, the people below dare to fight. By the way, what did you say just now? They are all called 'Wuling University'."

Su San smiled, pulled Song Ping and said, "Song Heimian, talk to the elder."

Song Ping blushed, but his face turned darker.He didn't speak as casually as Su San did, and very cautiously repeated what Su San said just now.

The second elder laughed when he heard it, "This must be Ning Yuan's idea. Only you have these wonderful ideas. Well, since this is the case, we are both learners anyway, and I'm afraid we have to pay for this pocket. "

So the two took out a ticket, 100 taels each, and put it in front of Song Ping.

Song Ping has a thin skin and is hesitating whether to accept it or not.Su San over there said, "Two great Confucian scholars who are as big as the second elder, each has a talent of one hundred, so it's a little less! Su San also helped 1000 taels?"

"How can we be richer than you? We are living in poverty, and even 100 taels is very distressing. Forget it, it's a big deal. When you have time, you can give guest lectures at 'Wuling University'."

Su San rubbed his hands and smiled, "That's right, this is the truth. 1000 taels can't be exchanged for the righteous lectures of the two great Confucians. Song Heimian, you can hear that when a university is established, at least two elders and three teachers will be arrested a month." Come on, they are all idlers. Instead of spending time fishing, it is better to walk around the university, being with young people, maybe the heart will be younger, and the extra years of life are also your credit, which is also filial piety. "

Mr. Liu said with a bitter face, "Let this kid say all the good things. Let's contribute money and efforts. In the end, they will honor us. How can we reason?"

Over there, Mr. Ji was waiting for the two of them, but he saw that they were talking lively. He couldn't wait any longer, so he came over and asked, "Why do you want to reason? If you want to reason, it's natural to come to the old man to reason. Why are you talking so happily?" .”

Seeing Mr. Ji coming, the two elders naturally wanted to coax Mr. Ji into the water, so they said Song Ping's words together, and said, "We paid 100 taels, and we have to give lectures every ten days. Mr. Ji, you are from this city." No. [-] Confucianist, this matter will not spare you."

Mr. Ji laughed, "I said something, but this is it. Why did you go so long ago? This matter was brought up by Ning Yuan and the old man. Get up, you are lagging behind. Even with this sponsored silver, I can’t fall behind you, you are 100 taels, and I miss 200 taels. Haha.”

The two of them can only be happy to be able to coax Ji Lao out of 200 taels of silver, and they don't care about Ji Lao's pressure on both of them.

Su San over there hurriedly said, "Song Heimian, write it down, write it down, turn around and break up the table, and then ask Mr. Ji for it. He is old and forgetful. Don't be forgotten by him. He won't admit it tomorrow." .”

Old Ji laughed and scolded, "As long as you are smart, today is the day you call grandpa, why don't you get out of the main hall."

Liu Jian and the others looked at the lively scene, some understood and some didn't, some understood and some didn't.

It never occurred to them when, when these people knew Su San so well.

"Old man, you can do your work first, there are a bunch of old men and big officials inside, I'll chat here for a while, and then go in later."

The second elder smiled again, "Dare to show love in front of us, and the old-fashioned appearance is all fake."

Talking and laughing, these people all went into the main hall.
