Chapter 396 Site Selection
"Let's visit to Shangshu Pei!" Zhang Zong smiled and greeted Pei Xingjian and said.
Pei Xingjian was also very surprised to learn about Zhang Zong's identity, and then hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are polite to the prince consort. I have heard of the prince consort for a long time, especially the Ni Nishi Master often mentions the prince consort's name in front of me. I didn't expect that today the prince consort's big carriage came to welcome me, which really made me feel honored!"
Pei Xingjian was not polite to Zhang Zong. Although he was in the Western Regions, he was very concerned about some of the situations within the Tang Dynasty, so Zhang Zong also came into his eyes early. In addition, Ni Nishita was working under his command, so he had been with Zhang Zong for a long time. When he came back this time, he wanted to meet Zhang Zong, but he didn't expect that the person who came to pick him up was Zhang Zong.
When Zhang Zong heard Pei Xingjian mention the name of Ni Nieji, he immediately asked the other party for a few words and immediately asked about Ni Nieji. However, because this is not a place to speak, Pei Xingjian just chatted for a few simple words, and then the group entered the city together.
Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Nii did not come back with Pei Xingjian. In fact, Ni Ni Ni Ni Nii Nii had already vowed that if he failed to restore the country, he would never return to Chang'an. However, if he really succeeded in restoring the country, it would be difficult for him to return to Chang'an again, so Zhang Zong didn't know if he would meet Ni Ni Ni Nii Nii one day?
When he entered the city, Pei Xingjian took the initiative to invite Zhang Zong to ride with him. Of course, Zhang Zong was reluctant to ask for it. After all, in addition to asking about the Ni Nishima from the other party, he also had to discuss matters about the Royal Martial Arts School with him.
However, as soon as Zhang Zong got on the carriage, before he could speak, Pei Xingjian asked first: "Mr. Concubine, I received a message from His Majesty on the way to come, saying that you proposed to set up a martial arts school. Can you tell me what you think?"
"Of course there is no problem. I'm just about to talk to Shangshu Pei about this!" Zhang Zong nodded immediately after hearing this, and then he told the story of the martial arts school in detail.
Pei Xingjian listened very seriously, and did not interrupt Zhang Zong from beginning to end. It was not until Zhang Zong finished speaking that he explained some things he didn't understand. Although he was old, his thinking was very clear, and he asked the key points of each question, and was very organized, which made Zhang Zong very impressed.
After Zhang Zong answered Pei Xingjian's question, Pei Xingjian showed a meditative look. After a while, he looked up and said, "Setting up a martial arts school is indeed a good way to kill multiple goals in one go. It is no exaggeration to say, if the martial arts school can succeed, it will even cause tremendous changes in the entire army, and even the structure of the country will change as a result."
"Pei Shangshu's gaze is long-term, and he really sees the importance of the martial arts school. I have been preparing for the martial arts school during this period, just waiting for Pei Shangshu to come back to take charge of the overall situation!" Zhang Zong said happily when he heard the other party's words.
Zhang Zong was not idle during this period. He had already decided to choose the site of the martial arts school and began to make some preliminary preparations. However, the matter of the martial arts school has not been made public yet. Everything has to be planned after Pei Xingjian comes back.
"You are polite to the prince. You proposed the martial arts school, so you will naturally focus on it. I am old and can only help you play and drum next to you!" Pei Xingjian said very cautiously when he heard Zhang Zong's words.
When Zhang Zong heard Pei Xingjian's words, he immediately understood what he meant. It was probably because Pei Xingjian was worried that after he took over the martial arts school, he would feel that he was seizing power. After all, the martial arts school was proposed by Zhang Zong, and he should have been the leader. If Pei Xingjian had led it, the future contribution would not be good.
After understanding Pei Xingjian's idea, Zhang Zong smiled calmly and said, "Shangshu Pei doesn't have any concerns. As the saying goes, I know almost nothing about military affairs. So for setting up a martial arts school, I can only put forward some ideas. To truly realize these ideas, it depends on you, a veteran general who is proficient in military tactics and rich in experience, like Shangshu Pei!"
As soon as Zhang Zong said something, Pei Xingjian also showed a surprised expression. He had been in the officialdom for decades, and had been used to intrigues in the officialdom, and even for a little profit, he could make people break their heads. However, Zhang Zong gave up most of such great contributions to himself, which was really unexpected.
However, after Pei Xingjian looked at Zhang Zong for a moment, he was finally sure that Zhang Zong was very sincere when he spoke and did not have any other selfish intentions. This made him feel ashamed that his previous thoughts were a bit too villain.
Thinking of this, Pei Xingjian nodded happily and said, "Okay, I have heard that the prince consort is a wise man who cares about fame and fortune. It turns out to be like this when I see it today!"
Zhang Zong immediately humbled a few words about Pei Xingjian's praise, and then turned the topic to the martial arts school. Compared with the medical school, martial arts is not only more important, but also has a larger range of influence. In particular, it has a close connection with the army, so there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, if it has any bad influence on the army, it would be bad.
Pei Xingjian was of course well aware of the importance of the martial arts school, so he put forward some of his own suggestions and ideas and discussed them with Zhang Zong. As the two discussed, the martial arts school's plan gradually became more fulfilled.
Just as Zhang Zong and his carriage passed through the streets of Luoyang, and were about to reach the Imperial City, and there were three bridges on the Luoshui River in front of him, Zhang Zong suddenly opened the car window, pointed to the left side of the carriage, and said, "Pei Shangshu, please see, there is the location of the martial arts school I chose. Of course, this is just the place I chose before. If Pei Shangshu thinks it is inappropriate, there are several other alternative places."
When Pei Xingjian heard this, he turned his head and looked at the location not far away. He saw that it was adjacent to Luoshui and across the river from the imperial city. He remembered that it seemed to be a Wucheng King Temple before. Although it had declined, it occupied a large area. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zong actually chose the martial arts school there.
"If I have time, I want to go and see it in person, but this location is quite good, and it is close to the imperial city, which is very convenient." Pei Xingjian looked for a moment before speaking again. He is a very cautious person. If he doesn't check and control it himself, he will not make a decision easily.
