After the village chief said that, Lin Yanchao took his student Xu Huobo to go to Zhu Xiucai's house to inspect.

Zhu Xiucai's home was facing the sun and headed north, and there were three such moves.

After looking around, Lin Yanchao asked Xu Huobo, "What do you think about here?"

Xu Huobo said: "It's very good, it can be used after a brief repair. It's just a shortcoming..."

The village chief, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but worry when he heard this.

"The disadvantage is that this is the thoroughfare of the street, and it is very close to the south gate and the water department. Are you worried about the noise?"

The village chief, Zhu Xiucai immediately said as soon as he heard this, "Young Master Xu, don't worry, don't worry, it's very quiet here on weekdays."

"Yes, my home can be called quiet in a mess, and quiet in a mess!"

Xu Huobo said: "You don't know that ancient academies must be built in a scenic spot in the suburbs of the city, and they can be far away from the noisy world and cultivate their temperament, so the location must be clean."

Xu Huobo is the eldest disciple of Lin Yanchao, and the Xu family is a prominent family in this fang, so the two of them are not easy to object.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "In the past, scholars scattered in the mountains and forests and farmed in the countryside, but now the three wings and seven alleys in different provincial capitals are all children of officials. No place is more talented than in the provincial capital. The academy is built here to make it easy to transport and travel. The two can only be said to have their own advantages."

After saying that, Lin Yanchao continued to observe and walked out of the back door of the house, but in front of him was the green Jiuxian Mountain.

There is a river at the foot of the mountain, and there are more than ten acres of lotus fields, which reach the foot of the mountain.

Everyone was relieved and happy to see this lotus field.

It is such a clean and good place to read, which makes Lin Yanchao urge to return to his youth to study.

Lin Yanchao had already decided to use this place as a place for the academy in his heart, but said, "But the academy is still too narrow. Whether the neighbors in the two houses on both sides are willing to make a sale, please ask the General Secretary for inquiries about this matter."

The inner child patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this matter is for me."

Zhu Xiucai also said: "The neighbors on both sides have been with me for many years. I can help General A come forward and do my best."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I am so grateful to you. If they are willing to resell, I will not treat you badly above the price. If they refuse, you come back and discuss it. Remember not to force others."

The two of them said yes and went to the two rooms.

Lin Yanchao and Xu Huobo walked beside the hei field with their hands behind their backs. When they looked up, they saw the sun slowly setting from the other side of Jiuxian Mountain.

Xu Huobo pointed to the mountain and smiled, "Teacher, the peak of this Jiuxian Mountain is also called Aofeng. Look, the sun is now on the Aofeng."

Lin Yanchao nodded when he saw this and said with a smile: "That's true, Aofeng, a good name. We scholars should have the ambition to be brave and diligent in studying and dominate the top. If the academy is built under this Aofeng, it would be better to call Aofeng Academy in the future. What do you think?"

Xu Huobo's eyes lit up and said, "I once promoted to Ping Ce in front of the palace, and ranked first in the top spot. The teacher in this workshop has produced three top scholars. It is very appropriate to use Aofeng as the name of the academy."

Lin Yanchao laughed and looked at the mountains and rivers in front of him: "I plan to set up another elementary school in addition to the academy to invite the children of officials and famous scholars in the provincial capital to come to elementary school."

At this time, Xu Huobo whispered: "Teacher, in the opinion of students, this academy is built in the provincial capital, that is, under the eyes of the government, and I am worried that it will be disturbed more."

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "What you said is, but in my identity, if the academy is built elsewhere, will there be no inquiries from those who are interested? It would be better to build it in the city openly to show my honesty!"

Xu Huobo still said: "But it is not better to make the academy independent from the court. It is so good to raise the innocent people."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself when he heard this, he was not like Donglin Academy to create a world of his own, allowing Donglin students to discuss politics and become a place of public opinion in the world. This was not his original intention to establish a school.

But he also knew that scholars like Xu Huobo had ambitions and believed that the politics of the court should be based on public discussions, and that scholars' clear discussions could influence the central decision-making.

However, the final situation in the Ming Dynasty was that the officials were in vain, while scholars actively discussed things, and the decisions of the central government were swaying due to party struggles.

This discussion on how to weigh the trade-offs between supervision and interference is a difficult degree to grasp, but no matter what, Gu Xiancheng has set a very bad precedent.

Lin Yanchao said: "What you said makes sense, but how can we do things without the support of the government?

Instead of blocking it, it is better to drain it and put the wind in. As for how big the window is, you can decide."

Xu Huobo mistakenly understood Lin Yanchao's meaning and thought he had another solution, so he said happily: "What the teacher said is very true, and the students understand."

The two talked and talked.

At this time, the village chief, Zhu Xiucai and the others came over with a smile. Seeing their expressions, Lin Yanchao knew that the academy had been accomplished.

Afterwards, Lin Yanchao began to build the Aofeng Academy with Zhu Xiucai's family. The two families next to Zhu Xiucai and the river pool at the foot of the mountain together had a total of more than 100 acres of land.

Then Lin Yanchao released the news that he wanted to build Aofeng Academy. He heard that Lin Yanchao's relatives, students, fellow cases, fellow townsmen and local officials expressed support.

It happened that at this time, Lin Yanchao's young Chinese theory after returning home also spread among scholars from Fujian after the beginning of the New Year. All scholars in the provincial capital were moved to read this inspiring text.

If you want to talk about the age of the country, please speak about the age of the people first. The elderly often think about the past, and the young people always think about the future...

Only when thinking about the past and everything is what it has been done, so I only know how to follow the rules; only when thinking about the future and everything is what it has not been done, so I often dare to break the rules...

Only when you are tired of things, you always feel that everything is impossible to do; only when you are good things, you always feel that everything is impossible to do...

Such passionate words made many scholars suddenly feel like they were hung up and stinging their heads. But at the same time, they couldn't help asking themselves, where is the direction and where can we do something for the court and the country.

Where is my way out? What is the future of the court? How can individuals and the fate of the country be closely related?

Everyone wandered around in the dark room, but it was not the direction of moving forward. However, as soon as Lin Yanchao opened Aofeng Academy came out, it was like a person in the dark, looking at a beam of fire in front of him.

Although it is not very clear, people who are determined to serve the country have really pointed out a clear path in the fog.

For a moment, the situation changed dramatically in the provincial capital.

Young China said that it has become the best admissions advertisement for academies now.

Not only did the article "Lin Yanchao" that the young Chinese story was influenced by scholars in provincial capitals, but he was judged by his reputation. I heard that he was going to run a college and the people in provincial capitals also had money and made great efforts.

As Lin Yanchao's eldest disciple Xu Huobo and his brother first took out all the books in their family and donated them to Aofeng Academy.

You should know that the Xu family is a famous book collector in the provincial capital.

Xu Huobo's brother Xu Xu's family collected thousands of books. The Xu family specially built Jian Hongyu Tower, Luyuzhai, Nansanlou and other buildings to collect books. Most of them contain secret books from the Song and Yuan dynasties. Scholars in the provincial capital all came to the Xu family to borrow books and take a look.

Lin Yanchao heard that the two brothers of the Xu family were going to donate all their books to the academy, and he felt that the two of them had sacrificed too much.

But Xu Xu told Lin Yanchao: "The writings of wise men are waiting for knowledge. People learn from books, and those who know each other will know each other. Why not just use the books of our Xu family to share with students in Fujian?"

Academies, academies, ancient meanings are the collection of books surrounded by a yard.

It was difficult to study during the Qin and Han dynasties. Without printing, it was difficult for the ancients to read a book as if they had reached the sky.

Therefore, some wise men are willing to take out their home collections to students who are studying to share. After more scholars read, they need to communicate and ask for help from the wise men. They naturally start teaching and teaching and giving private lectures.

Lin Yanchao accepted the goodwill of the two. The Xu brothers could do the most.

Now that there is a hundred acres of land for the address, the Xu brothers donated tens of thousands of books, so naturally the academy began to be worthy of its name.

In addition to the Xu brothers, who knew that Lin Yanchao was going to run a college, his relative Lin Ruchu gave him 1,000 taels of silver.

Lin Yan and Lin Liao were even more happy and took out a thousand volumes of books from Lianjiang Academy and gave them to the Academy.

After learning about it, Fujian Governor Zhao Shenlu summoned civil servants to help repair the academy, which was equivalent to providing free labor, but Lin Yanchao had to pay the money for the work and materials himself. At the same time, Zhao Shenlu gave the academy three hundred taels of silver in his personal name.

Fujian governor Song Yingchang also said that he could request the court to exempt the tax from the academy from the school.

Fujian Supervisor Geng Dingli also expressed that he could give preferential treatment to a half-official and half-private school.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being an official. With the support of local officials, Lin Yanchao is full of confidence, and there are countless others who are willing to contribute money and work, so I won’t come here one by one.

The academy has begun to be repaired, and there are many students in Sanyuanfang who come to ask when the academy will be opened every day.

So Lin Yanchao took this opportunity to publish the sign of admission notice and posted it directly in the alley.

The academy will be scheduled to recruit students in early March. Any student, supervisor, or even child students who are over 12 years old and have excellent character and academic performance can come to the academy to study.

After passing the recruitment, the academy will provide each student with daily supplies and clothes every year for daily study.

In other words, it is all inclusive of food and accommodation.

At the same time, referring to the practices of Lianjiang Academy, the Academy will divide students into three levels: internal, external, and attached classes in the future.

Thirty students in the internal class will give one tael of paste and fire silver every month, thirty students in the external class will give five cents of paste and fire silver every month, and sixty students in the attached class will not pay.

However, for the children, they only recruit students from our province, but do not provide residences in the academy.

The tuition fees for the college are charged separately every month.

Lin Yanchao's purpose is also obvious, to recruit talents from all over the province for use by academies.

For those who are in a poor family and cannot support themselves in their studies, the academy will provide money as subsidies.

With such a way of running schools, the cost of academy will be huge.

Where did the money come from? Lin Yanchao paid out of his own pocket and bought two thousand acres of fertile land in various counties in the prefecture for school land.

He is not stingy about the matter of promoting academic development.
