Chapter 425 Jasmine Academy ([-])

There used to be many jasmines in the yard of Molixuan, but many of them have withered over the years.This repair was replanted again.Li Xiaolu also designed the garden landscape, built walls and leaky windows like a Soviet-style garden, and built a rockery pool.In the end, the newly restored Jasmine Pavilion has the same style as many fake ancient buildings in the original time and space.

Wang Ci looked at it but was dumbfounded. Lingao has never had the concept of a private garden. Except for the water and stones in the backyard of the county office, Moli Xuan is the best artificial landscape in the county. It is often used as a garden for local officials. A place where literati gathered and feasted.

As for the short construction period of the entire construction, Wang Ci also found it unimaginable--I haven't seen any special mechanical assistance used by the thieves, and it is not likely that many workers will be used--according to Wang Ci's estimation, if you If the organizers come to repair it, it won't take more than half a month.Not to mention that the Australians have expanded many new buildings on the old site of Molixuan.

In addition to the original buildings, the construction team added several buildings, including a two-story water pavilion for parties and banquets, classrooms and dormitories built in a modern style, and toilets and bathhouses.

Wang Ci saw that many new houses had been added, so he couldn't help finding Xiong Buyou who was coordinating on the construction site to ask what these houses were for.

"Of course it's useful," Xiong Buyou smiled, "Molixuan used to be an academy."

Molixuan was an academy in the Song Dynasty, and it has gone through ups and downs.There was an academy for a long time in the Ming Dynasty, but when Wang Ci came to Lingao, the academy had already existed in name only.The reason is simple - no money.

The county school still lacks funds, let alone a free school like Molixuan that relies on private funds.Originally, there were hundreds of acres of land under his name as a source of funding for the free school, but as time went by, it was gradually stolen and sold, and occupied by powerful landlords, which has long become a muddled account.Without funds, we can't afford to hire talented teachers, and if we can't pay tuition and money, students will naturally disappear.

"Boss Xiong means to restore Molixuan Academy?" Wang Ci said excitedly.

"Of course, otherwise, what would you do after repairing it, just use it for drinking?"

"This is really a great kindness!" Wang Ci bowed excitedly to the end, "Student pays homage to the scholars of Lingao..."

"Okay, okay, there's no need for false rituals." Xiong Buyou thought to himself, don't rush to represent anyone, you still don't know that this thing is actually a sugar-coated cannonball: it tastes very sweet when you lick it now, but you will know what's inside later something.

After the renovation project of Molixuan was completed, Lingao County held a ribbon-cutting ceremony of "warmth", "simpleness" and "harmony".Wu Mingjin originally didn't want to show his face on the occasion of the Kun thief, but the reconstruction of Molixuan was a major event for the county, and it was a major event that was beneficial to enlightenment.It would seem "not close to the people" not to show up.Had to show up.

Once again, Wang Ci was used by the time-traveling group. He worked tirelessly to send invitations for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Molixuan to the gentry and scholars in the county.The Executive Committee estimated that, given the popularity and significance of Molixuan in the local area, it is unlikely that these people would refuse to attend.

Sure enough, not only the county's candidates and scholars said that this is a great event and must come, even Liu Dalin, who was not sure about the executive committee, also said that this is a great event that will benefit the education of the whole county and must come.Not only that, Wang Ci also won Liu Jinshi to write an inscription for the reconstruction of Molixuan.

Even though Liu Dalin still has some dislikes for the time-traveling group, but for more than a year, the time-traveling group has suppressed bandits in Lingao, built roads, rescued the people, and resettled the poor. I can't go out, but the family members are always outside to inquire about the news.

He is a Jinshi in the township, and he is well-known in the county and even in Qiongzhou Prefecture.I thought to myself that I must be the target of this group of thieves.So these days, I just stay at home and study in a high bed, not only don't go out, I don't even see guests.Only a few close relatives and friends can visit the door to see it.With arsenic and a knife by his side, he was always ready to commit suicide.One is to avoid being captured and humiliated - he has made suggestions in the attack on the Kun bandits, and I heard that he killed many of the Kun bandits, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not come to seek revenge; If the time comes, he can die to show his innocence.When Kun Bandit entered the city for the first time, the atmosphere in Liu Dalin's house was extremely tense. Not only himself, but also his family members and servants were all ready to go to the disaster.

Unexpectedly, the Kun bandits retreated after entering the city, and only sent dozens of pirate heads to the county.In the next few months, except for the group of Kun thieves who came to the city in groups during the Chinese New Year, there was no large group of people entering the city again.As for Liu Dalin's family, no one cares about it at all - the thief seems to not know that there is such a person as Liu Dalin in Lingao.

Liu Jinshi had imagined countless times how the thieves would rush into his mansion and force him with knives.And he was mighty and unyielding, or died by scolding a thief or committing suicide by taking drugs... But none of the scenes he imagined happened, that is, no one called to seek revenge, and no one threatened and lured him to be a puppet with nice words. job.When the mood is relaxed, it is inevitable to be silent—this group of thieves are really ignorant.

The family members didn't know Liu Dalin's various thoughts, so they finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the gangsters didn't come to harass him.When the news from the outside was told to him by his family members, although Liu Dalin never knew whether it was true or not, he was secretly surprised——What is the plan of this group of overseas Australians who claim to be descendants of the Song people?

The Australians suppressed bandits and built roads in Lingao, and set up workshops to repair water conservancy. There is nothing that is not beneficial to the country and the people.They traveled thousands of miles, left their homeland, and came to this small county in the southern border of Daming to do all of this—there is no such thing as "spirituality" these days, and Liu Dalin can't see what practical benefits they can get from "studying" in Lingao. benefit.

With Liu Dalin's political wisdom, he certainly understands that this is an act of buying people's hearts by the Australians.It's just that there seems to be no value in buying people's hearts in Lingao - this place is so remote and barren, even if the Australians can make the whole county go under the thieves, so what?Even if they are more capable and able to occupy the entire Hainan Island, this is only a corner of the South China Sea.

When Wang Ci came to send the invitation, the family members urged Liu Dalin not to show up, and it was better to keep a low profile-although it was a good thing, once the officers and soldiers regained Lingao in the future, they would not be able to tell clearly about the scene.Liu Dalin didn't see it that way.

In his opinion, no matter what the Australians are thinking, it is a great thing for the local people to build the Confucian Temple, rebuild the Molixuan, and fund the re-establishment of the Molixuan Academy. As the only Jinshi in Lingao since ancient times, so It would hurt the hearts of the scholars not to attend the occasion.In addition, I always hide at home, and it is always difficult to grasp the attempts of the Australians, so it is better to be more generous and go out for a walk.seeing is believing.Finally, since the Australians have not done anything to seek revenge or force them to take up "fake jobs" for more than a year, they may not do it now-not to mention that the Australians have not raised flags and fired guns from the beginning to the end, nor have they driven Wu Mingjin away ——This Lingao County is still the Lingao County of Daming.

Liu Dalin's acceptance of the invitation and inscription on the inscription aroused great repercussions among scholars and gentry in Quanlingao.For a while, the Australians rebuilt the Jasmine Pavilion in the Confucian Temple in Lingaoxiu County, causing a lot of trouble in the county. The scholars who had been talking about their various behaviors had to admit that the Australians were "indulging in education".

In order to reduce the resistance of local scholars and gentry, Xiong Buyou deliberately minimized the showing off of the traverser's strength even though he held a modern ribbon-cutting ceremony.Only Xiong Buyou and a few people came to the scene.No obvious weapons were carried either.Everyone at the scene was in harmony.

The ceremony was a combination of ancient and modern. After the speeches of the leaders of both parties, Wu Ya personally unveiled the stele of "Chongzhen Rebuilt Jasmine Pavilion" written by Liu Dalin.After the red silk slipped down, Xiong Buyou and the passers-by behind him applauded unconsciously, and the surrounding natives also applauded.

Wu Mingjin cut the ribbon with a pair of silver scissors in a chic way—this was the only place in the whole ceremony that the scholars discussed, and everyone thought it was too wasteful.As for the scissors made of more than two taels of silver, it became a thank-you gift for the ribbon-cutters.

After the ribbon-cutting, everyone visited the newly renovated Jasmine Hall. They were very curious about the newly added facilities and furniture. Those who have dealt with the Time Travel Group know that the newly renovated study rooms here are actually Australian schools. shape.

What makes scholars envious most is that there is an additional library in Jasmine Pavilion--it has already stored hundreds of well-printed books printed by the printing factory newly opened by the Ministry of Light Industry, ranging from hundreds of schools of thought, classics and history, A lot of representative classics were selected.The original proofreading editions of most Zhonghua Bookstores and the electronic editions of Taiwan Academia Sinica were used.The essence of edition quality was top-notch in the Ming Dynasty.Scholars rushed to read it.

Flipping through these books with extremely clear handwriting, white paper, and elegant binding, everyone couldn't help being amazed. During this period, a controversy broke out between the Judu school and the Bujudu school: the former thought it was a good thing for books to have a sentence, while the latter believed that it was a good thing. I think this will damage the understanding of the original work.

But regardless of whether there are sentences or not, Lingao has not had such a complete library in history, regardless of public or private.The shock that this brought to the scholars was huge.Aren't Australians from the "land of barbarians"?Why can their books be printed so well.Moreover, great efforts have been put into the proofreading of each book, which is by no means something that a barbarian country can do.Could it be that they are really descendants of the Song people, and they are orthodox in China.The distinction between Yi and Xia in the hearts of many scholars has been shaken.
