Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 108 Gathering Talents (3)
Next, Su Qin justly took two steps ahead to introduce everyone present for Li Wufeng. It should be said that these guests came in response to invitations sent by Xiao Tang, Su Qin, Wang Liao, Wang Zongxi, He Jing and others through various private channels. It was jointly issued by the Kansai Military and Political Governor's Office, in the name of inviting everyone to visit and inspect the economic and social development of the Tanghe Empire's western border area, and to invite everyone to give lectures in the Northwest and Kansai. Such a very high-level invitation is undoubtedly a symbol of considerable prestige and qualifications. It is naturally a supreme honor to receive such an invitation letter. No one can refuse this kind of invitation with the nature of academic visit.
This is already the third batch of guests invited by Li Wufeng's invitation letter, and the guests who come here are far more important than the guests invited in the previous two times, especially when the East China Sea, Jiangnan and Five Lakes are in war, and In the case of another alien invasion in the north, the invitation letter also specifically states that guests and their families are invited to travel to jurisdictions outside of Li Wufeng's empire - the countries of the Western Regions, the Tengger Grassland, Northern Luzon, and Burma, to appreciate the exotic scenery, This very tempting invitation finally attracted many important guests who were still prejudiced against the Northwest and Kansai in the first and second batches. After all, it is also a rare time in life to be able to take their wives, children, old and young children to visit various places in mainland China for free and enjoy exotic customs. Opportunity, not to mention that the other party is such a sincere invitation, it really seems a bit unreasonable to refuse it again. In addition, there are endless wars in various places, and traveling and giving lectures can also avoid some unexpected natural disasters and man-made disasters. Never heard of any problems.
When dealing with these guests, Wufeng adhered to etiquette and did not dare to be negligent. This is also the reason why Wufeng asked Xiao and Su to accompany him to meet him. He wanted to use this attitude and standard to fully demonstrate own emphasis on talent. You must know that although these people are not noble and wealthy businessmen, they are all celebrities from various counties in the interior of the empire. Some educate everyone and have disciples all over the place. Contact with the outside world, but they have made a lot of achievements in academics. Although some have not entered the officialdom, they are great talents in governing the country and the country, but because of their birth or other factors, they have not been able to retaliate. Once these people can offer advice for themselves Offering advice will definitely make your rule more stable. Even if you don't want to work for yourself, your reputation as a corporal and honest man can spread throughout the empire and abroad, which is enough to attract more insightful people to work for you.
Almost every time he walks in front of a guest, Wufeng always has to exchange his experience with the other party on what the other party is good at. Although this is time-consuming and troublesome, it is enough to prove Wufeng's respect and respect for the guests, which makes Almost all the guests are inexplicably grateful to the Northwest King who has power over the empire from the bottom of their hearts. After all, no matter how famous they are, none of them are of noble origin. To put it bluntly, they are called Baishen. The title of the pinnacle of nobility.
"Mr. Ganquan, Yuelu Academy is well-known in Xiaoxiang, and its disciples are all over the five lakes. However, the five lakes area is originally a place of wealth and prosperity in the empire, with good educational conditions. Because it is located in the western border of the empire, social undertakings have lagged behind for a long time. Although Li also intends to develop education in these places, he is helplessly short of manpower, and has more than enough energy. Other places even admire my Tanghe culture, ideology and art, and are eager to be bathed in our Tanghe culture, ideology and art. With Mr. Qiu's heart, can't we open a few academies in Li's territory so that people in backward areas can receive education More chances, so that the people outside Hua have the opportunity to admire the rain and dew of Tanghe civilization?"
The old man who had always maintained a modest and elegant face was calm after listening to Li Wufeng's words, but Wufeng felt a slight change in the half-closed eyes of the other party.
To be honest, Li Wufeng's remarks are indeed a bit tempting. The current situation in the empire is in chaos. Although Yueyang has not been greatly affected, the Wuhu area has actually been controlled by several major forces, and the six major academies in the empire Whether it is Zhongzhou Songyang Academy in the imperial capital, Jinling Shigu Academy and Jiujiang Bailudong Academy, or Yuhang Qiantang Academy and Gusu Donglin Academy in the south of the Yangtze River, they are more or less affected by the chaos. From what I have observed along the way to Kansai, the scene of peace and prosperity in the northwest has not been affected by the wars of the empire at all. If the influence of Yuelu Academy can be extended to Kansai and the Northwest, it will be able to educate the world on the one hand, and also on the other. This has enabled Yuelu Academy to continue to maintain its influence on the cultural and educational circles of the entire empire, and the other party's proposal to teach outside the territory has made the old man's heart skip a beat. If the cultural, ideological and artistic essence of the Tanghe nation can be passed on to the empire The reputation of Yuelu Academy is far more than the current situation in other foreign regions, and its own name may be permanently recorded in the annals of history and shine through the ages.
Seeing that the old man seemed to be deep in thought, Wufeng didn't press too hard, but threw the topic to another middle-aged rich scholar beside him who seemed to be interested in what he said: "Mr. Guishan, wind and rain The sound of reading can be heard, and family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are concerned about everything. This couplet has won the praise and praise of many literati in the empire. When Li was young, he also felt excited when he read this couplet. Is Tiannan’s major educational affairs considered state affairs? And Northern Luzon, Western Regions, Burma, and Tengger are also considered within the world. Donglin Academy’s ambition to educate the world has never thought that it is as far away as the western border or even outside the region. The common people do their part?"
The eyes of the Qianchong old man and the rich scholar met in the air after Wufeng's words, and then turned away. Both seemed to understand what the other was thinking. And Yuelu Academy is also among the six major academies, competition is inevitable. Donglin Academy dominates the south of the Yangtze River, and Yuelu Academy is famous in the five lakes. The influence and even expansion of the academies' influence has become the top priority for the helmsmen of the major academies, and now it seems that this opportunity has arrived.
"Two gentlemen, the desire of the people in western Xinjiang to receive education is obvious, and it would be a great merit for people outside the region to bathe in the civilization of the Tang River. I think the two gentlemen will definitely not let the people of western Xinjiang Disappointed, here I thank Li in advance. Of course, Li also knows that the establishment of the academy Everbright Education is not a mere theory, it needs a lot. Li also hereby solemnly promises that if the academy can be built anywhere in the area under Li’s jurisdiction The local government will provide land for free and build all buildings free of charge according to the requirements of the academy. Every year, the governments at all levels will allocate a certain amount of education funds to purchase books and support lectures and students according to the scale of the academy. It will not interfere with the teaching style and affairs of the academy.”
Wufeng's resolute words immediately shocked the old man Qianchong and the rich scribe almost at the same time, and asked in unison: "My lord, are you serious?"
It's no wonder that the two of them lost their composure. You must know that Li Wufeng's words meant that the academies, which were originally private schools, were treated like public schools. Not only did the two look uplifted and ecstatic, but even the other people around were shocked by Li Wufeng's words. We must know that running education is a long-term, long-term, long-term business with no output. This is the main reason why both Donglin Academy and Yuelu Academy are located in the economically developed areas of the empire. Only with the support of merchants can the operation of the academy be maintained. The consumption of the college is quite large. In addition to the daily expenses, the college also needs to provide assistance to poor students ~IndoMTL.com~ to help outstanding students complete their studies, and invite famous scholars from all over the world to give lectures. It’s also a big expense, which seems like nothing, but it’s very difficult for an academy like this, which has no source of income and relies entirely on donations to support funds, especially this is a cause that needs to be persisted for a long time. No wonder the helm of the academy has to plan carefully.
"Ms. Li has always spoken out loud and never lost his word." Wu Feng waved his hand to stop Xiao Tang who was about to say something with a dry cough, and said decisively.
"Well, I, Yang Shi, hereby solemnly promise that Donglin Academy will build a new branch of Donglin Academy in Hanzhong within this year, and Donglin Academy will send the best students and disciples here to give lectures and teach." The scribe put away his folding fan and rushed before Qian Chong to the old man, saying word by word, although the voice was not loud, the tone was unquestionable.
Having been robbed of his head by Yang Shi, Qian Chong felt annoyed at the old man, but with his heart, he just flashed it across his chest and said with a smile: "Mr. Guishan chose Kansai, and that Zhan Ruoshui represents Yuelu Academy." Master Li is invited to build a house on the outskirts of Qingyang City, and Yuelu Academy will also send disciples to set up a branch in the northwest within this year, to contribute to the development of Tanghe culture, thought and art.”
Qingyang is located at the junction of the Middle East and the mainland. It is the intersection of the civilizations of the Eastern Continent and the Central Continent. It is also the center of the Northwest. There are many immigrants from various ethnic groups. The old man Qian Chong wants to use this to expand the influence of Yuelu Academy , and laid the foundation for Yuelu Academy to enter the mainland in the future.
Yang Shi—an educator in the Song Dynasty, a native of Jiangle in Fujian, with the word Lu Li and the name Guishan. Donglin Academy got its name because of its "walking on the Donglin Road".
Zhan Ruoshui, an educator in the Ming Dynasty, was born in Zengcheng, Guangdong, with the character Yuan Ming and the name Ganquan. Under the guise of its name.
