Chapter 764 Qujiang Academy
Uncle Li then turned angry and laughed at the long beard under his chin and said, "Well, this is almost the same. Your third brother should teach him some lessons. By the way, you two come here, it's not as simple as coming to greet me, right?"
I looked at Li Zhi and decided to speak first. "Father, my son and I heard a new idea from Master and felt that it is very beneficial to the country and the people. Therefore, I came to report to my father and asked him to think about it." Li Zhi respectfully said to Uncle Li.
"Oh?" Uncle Li raised his eyebrows and looked at me and said, "What's the clerk's mind about the construction of a good son-in-law? I want to listen." I quickly took out the prepared memorial on the construction of a college from my arms and handed it on: "Son-in-law has always felt that I have many academic classics since ancient times in China, but many of them are separated. Although many aristocratic families have treasures, they have always been stingy to borrow others. Those poor scholars have no way to seek knowledge, which makes it difficult for many knowledgeable people in my Tang Dynasty to enrich their talents. Therefore, the son-in-law asked Your Majesty to start a college."
"Academy?" Uncle Li repeated the last two words I said, lowered his head, and began to look through the memorial I handed him. At the beginning, Uncle Li's expression was very serious, but the more he looked back, the more he looked, the more he looked, as if an old rural gangster accidentally discovered a classic porn novel. Well, the metaphor was not very appropriate, but this was what Uncle Li gave me.
"Academy! This strategy is great, hahaha, okay! I agree, but..." Uncle Li blinked his eyes, and the two words he spit out made me feel heart in my throat. He stared at His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, for fear that this old guy would find a reason to reject the matter.
"But I can't let you work too hard alone, so do this. When you build a college, whenever you encounter difficulties, you can come to find me or find a child slave. In addition, I also have a collection of treasures and tens of thousands of volumes. If the academy is successful, I will lend you all together, but I will only allow you to print it and return it to me. How about it?" Uncle Li's words finally made me feel relieved.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was in a state of conscience: "Son-in-law, thank you for your kindness. My father-in-law is grateful to you. My son-in-law is grateful to you. In addition, my son-in-law has a kindness. Please agree to me."
Uncle Li drank a big gulp of ginkgo tea with a special taste, pointed at me and smiled, "Good boy, I always use this trick. Forget it, just talk, if it's a good thing, it's okay for me to agree."
---------------------------------------------------
"I want to build the academy on the bank of Qujiang River. At present, the academy has not started construction, so I specially asked Your Majesty to give the academy a name." I smiled and said to Uncle Li. This is a chance to satisfy Uncle Li's preference for showing off himself. I believe that the old guy will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Sure enough, Uncle Li quickly nodded and agreed: "Well, you did a good job well. It is not only unprecedented, but also the first academy in the history of the Tang Dynasty. This name will naturally be louder. Please wait for me to think about it..."
Uncle Li stood up and started walking. This was his habitual movement. Whenever he encountered problems, he would always do this, and his body still seemed so upright. His eyes and expressions still seemed majestic and wise, and every step was extremely calm.
"Since the son-in-law wants to build the academy on the bank of Qujiang, why would he call Qujiang academy like this?" Uncle Li really couldn't think of anything good, so he could only name it by his region. "It's so great that when my benevolent and wise men in the Tang Dynasty heard its name, they would definitely know that the academy is in my imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty." I even claimed to be good.
So, Uncle Li personally gave the four big words Qujiang Academy to my academy and solemnly handed them to my hands. "I hope that the son-in-law will continue to contribute more merits to my Tang Dynasty."
"This is naturally. As long as Your Majesty has his life, the son-in-law will definitely take the lead and be the front." I respectfully took the rice paper handed to me by Uncle Li and replied. Li Zhi, who was leaving, also laughed and was very happy.
Later, Uncle Li was in a happy mood and left me and Li Zhi to have lunch with him. During this conversation, he talked about the conflict between my father and the Uncle Xiao. Uncle Li rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Old Xiao is always like this, which makes me feel a big headache. Yesterday, I even wrote to me to write to me and actually became a monk, but I was so angry that I almost tore my memorial book at that time. I was in my sixties and still like a child."
"As the saying goes, both young and old, the old man's temperament is sometimes like a child. This old man has a straight temper. I just want to have a while, and the thoughts can be changed." I could only smile bitterly and agree with it. Li Zhi next to me said seriously: "Old Master Xiao is devoted to business and has no selfishness. I hope my father will not agree to Mr. Xiao's request."
Li Zhi's words really made Uncle Li very happy. He glanced at Li Zhi with satisfaction. Uncle Li nodded slightly: "Well, my family's divine slave has grown up, haha, I'm very comforted to my father. Although Old Xiao has a bad temper, he still has his own achievements. After all, he is also your master, so he will naturally consider it for his father."
After a happy lunch, I bid farewell to Uncle Li. Li Zhi and I walked into Qifeng Pavilion. Li Zhi said to me proudly: "How is Brother Jun? Xiaozhi's performance just now is pretty good!"
"Well, the performance is indeed good. I think Your Majesty will definitely let that Lord Xiao take back the request. At that time, Lord Xiao will continue to supervise the Crown Prince's words and deeds." I nodded seriously. As soon as I said this, Li Zhi suddenly looked bitter, but then he smiled and said, "It's okay, old guy can't even follow me when I sleep, let alone Brother Jun, you are back. I, a student, come to you to study. I think Mr. Xiao will definitely not interfere."
"You are so awesome, I took me out as your shield." I shook my head helplessly. There were too many magical ideas in Li Zhi's head, and this often made me feel at a disadvantage.
"So, thank you Master, hehe." Li Zhi smiled proudly when he saw me being defeated. However, he did not forget what Uncle Li told me just now. "Brother Jun, if you have any trouble in handling academy, Xiao Zhi will definitely be willing to be the master and drive forward. Even if you want money and people, I am willing to help you."
Since I decided to do it, then let's do it independently. I don't want others to be divided into my merits, so Li Zhi said this as a fake orangutan, and I immediately refused: "No, although the teacher is not rich, at least the money for building an academy is still affordable. Therefore, the direction of the money will not be a problem for you." Seeing that I was serious, Li Zhi couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Are you rich? Come on, I said Jun brother, at most you can talk in front of your younger brother, and fall into the ears of outsiders. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

"Hmph, God knows, Earth knows, you know, I know, Xiao Zhi, you won't count the jokes of being a teacher?" I raised my eyebrows at the prince, made this girl so angry that she proudly took the wooden box that was handwritten by Uncle Li and said goodbye to Li Zhi, and went home directly.
"Wife, pay for work!" When I got home, I threw my cloak to the place where I came forward, held the wooden box, sat on the low couch with a big golden knife, and greeted the beautiful wives who were gathering together to play mahjong.
"What money is spent? Junlang wants to buy something again? I've won almost the same thing now. Why don't I give it to you?" Li Shuxiao touched a mahjong, played the card and turned around and smiled at me.
These words almost threw the Mobao that Uncle Li gave me directly to the ground, and looked at the four people who seemed to have already gambled on the authentic female gamblers. "What are you talking about? I have something to do for you for your husband."
After hearing this, the four wives and concubines evacuated their positions and sat beside me. Green Butterfly's eyes were sharp, and she saw the wooden box in my hand first, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Junlang, you are such a thing. You are going to ask Master Yan to paint again, right?"
"Haha, this is not a painting by Master Yan, but this thing is definitely more valuable than Master Yan's paintings, and a word is worth a thousand gold." I proudly opened the wooden box in my hand and slowly spread the big rice paper written by Uncle Li himself to leave his name.
The four wives immediately showed joy together, and the palace maid sister even more excitedly joined hands: "It's so good. Your Majesty can personally agree to this matter and also give him a handwritten letter. I think if this matter is done, it will definitely be smooth all the way."
