179 The first stingy Xiaohunhou of the Great Chu(1/2)

For the spirit stone left behind by Nuwa, Zuer turned from Jia Baoyu to a stone monkey, and cried for a long time.

But Chu Tianxiu was "intoxicated" in the rapid creation and writing "Journey to the West" quickly, so how could he care about her?

He is preparing to move out all four classics.

The four great classics of China, these four books are enough to enrich the spiritual life of the people of Great Chu two thousand ago, so that they will not have nothing to do at night.

Seeing that his son-in-law was busy writing the manuscript and was bored by eating fruits and fruits on his own, Zuer had to pick up the manuscript of "Journey to the West" written by his son-in-law on the desk and read it casually.

This look is amazing.

The opening of "Journey to the West" is too powerful.

The stone monkey burst out from the spirit stone and was revered as the Monkey King by the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. He went to Fangcun Mountain to learn skills. He obtained seventy-two changes and somersault clouds to return to Huaguo Mountain, made a big fuss in the underwater Dragon Palace, and obtained the Ruyi Golden Hoop.

The Palace of Hell was crossed out of the life and death book, and went to the Heavenly Court to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor was forced to give an imperial edict and was granted the title of Bima Wen.

The Monkey King's unrestrained fantasy flew into the sky and into the earth.

In just four or five chapters, people have completely entered a vast mythical world. For the people of Great Chu, it is like a terrifying stone, and the shock is unspeakable.

After reading a few chapters, Zuer was completely fascinated and stunned. Reading this book felt like sleepwalking.

This Monkey King is so amazing!

"Joer, is this book good to read?"

Chu Tianxiu was so fascinated by Zuer's reading, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph! It's so good-looking, but you're so angry. If this new book is spread, you will definitely be scolded by scholars from Da Chu!"

Zuer turned red and he said with a humming voice.

My son-in-law finished the "Stone Story" and offended a large group of big book fans. This new book changed the spirit stone left by Nuwa and made a new book.

I don’t know how scholars from Dachu will scold them!

...

After the beginning of summer.

The temperature seemed to get hot overnight, and the summer was hot, and I ran outside and sweated all over my back.

After the first imperial examination, it is imperative that all schools of Dachu have quickly built higher education institutions and prepare for the next major examination.

Dong Xianliang has been running around these days, going to various wealthy residences in Jinling City, asking for donations everywhere, almost breaking his legs and suffering.

The mentor assigned him a major task.

A new "Jinling Academy" was built in Jinling City to gather top Confucian scholars in the world, teach and prosper, and promote the Confucian school.

But to build such a large-scale academy that accommodates thousands of Confucian scholars, the most important thing is to raise a huge sum of silver.

At least 20,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver - there is no limit on the cost of building academy. The more silver you spend, the more glazed tiles and wooden beams, the more grand and luxurious it is!

As the world's number one school, if Confucianism builds a college so shabby, there is no face to show off in front of the people in the world.

The mentor Kong Hanyou paid 1,000 taels of silver, and the rest was asked Dong Xianliang to go to various places to raise funds.

After raising enough money, you can submit an application to the Prime Minister's Office, allocate a piece of land and a subsidy of several thousand taels of silver, and build the academy as soon as possible.

The sooner this matter is, the better. There are more schools and universities established later, and the financial situation is tight, so it is difficult to approve land and money.

Dong Xianliang could only summon all the Confucian scholars in Jinling to raise money.

Tens of thousands of Confucian scholars in Jinling City were extremely enthusiastic about building academies, but they were short of money, ranging from one tael of silver to hundreds of copper coins, which was not enough. In total, they finally raised less than two to three thousand taels of silver.

It is still far from building a grand Confucian academy.

There is no way.

Dong Xianliang could only go to the nobles, powerful and rich people in Jinling City, and asked them to pay for the Jinling Academy.

The rich men of various families have also made some progress.

Xie Huyong, the old prime minister, paid 100 taels of silver.

Lu Zi, a great scholar, gave him 100 taels of silver and told him to build a college with great success.

The Wang family paid 100 taels of silver and recommended a Wang scholar to study at Jinling Academy in the future.

The amount of donated money made Dong Xianliang deeply feel the stinginess of the noble family and the coldness of the world, and he was so angry that he just wanted to curse himself.

The huge Jinling clan has a mountain of gold and silver, tens of millions of fertile land and countless industries, but it is only willing to donate 100 taels of silver. Are you embarrassed?

Is Dong Xianliang the one who lacks one or two hundred taels of silver?

He is short of tens of thousands of taels of silver!

However, the most stingy one was the Yang family of Da Nong Ling Yang Chu. This Yang family was passed down for a long time and was a very prominent but low-key wealthy man in the Great Chu Dynasty.

If it weren't for the rise of the father and son of the Shen family, the most wealthy man in Jiangnan would have been the Yang family.

But if Dong Xianliang was left to slap, Lord Yang Chu was reluctant to donate a piece of copper coins and sent him away with a cup of tea.

Dong Xianliang begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother in Jinling City, but he only raised 3,000 taels of silver.

It is far from ten thousand taels of silver.

He was just disheartened and rested in Wanghou Lane, drinking water, and looking up.

Pingwang Mansion!

Xiaohunhou has disappeared since the national imperial examination and has seen no movement. It is probably because he is in Pingwang Mansion to cool off.

Dong Xianliang was thinking.

have to!

Xiaohunhou has made a lot of money in papermaking recently, so go find him to raise one or two hundred taels of silver.

Although Xiao Hunhou is not very friendly to Confucianism.

But his personal relationship with Xiao Hunhou is quite good.

Even if Xiaohunhou refused to donate, please ask Xiaohunhou to come up with an idea.

Dong Xianliang immediately walked to the gate of the royal palace and informed the guards that the magistrate of Moling County was visiting and asked to see Xiaohunhou.

...

After a moment, the guards came back and let him enter the Prince Ping's Mansion.

Dong Xianliang entered Yuyuan and came to the study. He met Xiao Hunhou who was writing a manuscript and Zuer, the maid next to him.

Dong Xianliang was shocked when he saw a huge ice brick in the room.

A large wooden barrel was placed in the center of the study, and a half-meter-sized ice brick was placed.

Although it was hot outside, it was sweating profusely. When I walked into the study, I was instantly cool and I felt much more awake.

Xia Bing!

Although this thing is not worth mentioning in winter, it is very precious in summer and is difficult to buy good things even if gold and silver.

In addition to the palace, there are a very small number of princes, princes and nobles. There are large underground ice cellars in the mansion to store ice cubes, which are not affordable to ordinary wealthy families.

But the huge ice brick in front of me is not for consumption, nor is it for frozen fruits and melons like in the palace, it is simply to cool down the study.

Chu Tianxiu was writing articles comfortably in this cool study.

Joo was happily eating the frozen fruits and melons in the wooden tub, reading the manuscript of a new book.

"It's so extravagant!"

Dong Xianliang was stunned. He had seen many local rich men and wealthy families in his half life.

I have never seen anyone put huge ice in the house to cool off.

This time I really opened my eyes.

When he visited Prime Minister Xie, Lord Wang Su, and Lord Lu Zi, he did not see them, such aristocratic masters, who were so squandering and extravagant.

What is a rich man?

This is what is the real spending money like the little Hunhou of Shui, and the Jinling clans are not enough to see them.

It is worthy of being the Prince Ping's Mansion, and it is worthy of being the little Hunhou, with a wealthy and powerful spirit. As soon as summer begins, it has begun to use big ice to cool off the heat.

Dong Xianliang was delighted when he saw this.

Xiao Hunhou was so rich that he didn't care about the money at all. I think he could donate a few hundred taels of silver. If he could raise a thousand taels of silver, it would be great.

Chu Tianxiu put his pen down and placed it on the desk. When he saw Dong Xianliang coming in, he asked with a smile: "Brother Dong, you are not going to visit the Three Treasures Palace for nothing! I don't know what to visit?"

“There is indeed something to ask for.

My mentor told me to build a Confucian academy, which was a huge amount of money. I was raising silver everywhere, and I had already raised a lot from Confucian scholars and nobles... But there was still a big gap and I couldn't raise enough silver, so I visited me!

I wonder if the little marquis is rich? Donate some silver?"

Dong Xianliang bowed his hand and looked ashamed.

"What did you ask just now?"
