Chapter 525 Jimin Academy
On the first day of April, Huazhou ushered in another grand event. Jimin Academy was completed and the governor was invited to attend the completion ceremony. The academy was discussed before the Mid-Autumn Festival to the completion of mid-March. It took only more than half a year in total, and it fully utilized its advantages of large people, large money and large power.
The official sedan chair stopped in front of the mountain gate, and Jiang Anyi came out of the sedan chair. Under the sun, a neat blue shirt stood in front of the mountain gate, with a tall and straight green pine spirit, exuding a prosperous and striking sense. The student Jingjing was standing in front of the thirty-year-old Confucian scholar, with white face and black beard, wearing a green long gown, elegant and romantic. He was the mountain leader of the academy. Next to him was the academy's lecturer, deputy lecturer, Guan Gan, Xuelu, etc. Although Jimin Academy is not half as big as Zechang Academy, sparrows are small and have all the internal organs.
The academy was responsible for the preparation, design, purchase of materials, purchase of land, and recruiting teachers, etc., all the gentry of Huiye Mansion, headed by the old man in Ningbo. Jiang Anyi assigned Cuishan in the south of Huiye Mansion to the academy in his instructions to apply for the construction of the academy, and he personally invested 2,000 taels. Originally, he wanted to work harder and invite some familiar lectures, but when he went to Shasuguo before the New Year, he was powerless about the academy.
Ningbo wrote a letter to his son Ning Ze, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, asking him to find the mountain chief and teach from the Imperial College. Ning Ze knew that this was a good thing to bring honor to his ancestors. He found the Imperial College Jijiu Fei Ruyang to invite someone. Fei Jijiu was worried that the Imperial College had a lower influence in the scholars' forests. He hit it off and recommended Lu Wenwen, a doctor of the Imperial College. This man was a Jinshi in Fengle for the third year and a doctor of the Imperial College in the seventh rank of the Imperial College. He could serve as a doctor in the Imperial College and had a first-class knowledge. However, he went to the newly built academy in Huazhou from the Imperial College. Lu Wenwen was naturally unwilling to do so. If Zechang and Zhangyi Academy were about the same.
Fei Ruyang took his name and agreed to the emperor four years later to request him to be transferred back to Beijing to recommend him as a doctor of the Imperial Academy at the sixth rank. The Imperial College was equipped with a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College, and a doctor of the Imperial College, a doctor of the Imperial College (from the eighth rank), and a doctor of the Imperial College was 13 years old. The seventh rank was placed in the place where the seventh rank was Bailihou, but in the power center of the capital, thousands of officials were not ranked in the seventh rank.
The Imperial College was extremely noble, but the emperor had not come twice a year. As a fourth-class doctor of the seventh rank, it was not his turn to show his face even if the emperor came. The emperor did not know him at all. Lu Wenwen was born in a family of officials. His grandfather had been the governor of Jiangzhou and left some connections and money, so it was already good that Lu Wenwen could be promoted step by step. It was already good. You should know that many of his ranks of eighth ranks in the same year. Lu Wenwen was moved by the fact that he was able to rise from the seventh rank to the sixth rank in four years. He was just thinking that Huazhou was a place with many wars on the border, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Ning Ze lured him for his benefit and said with a smile: "Dr. Lu, Huazhou is misunderstood by the world. In fact, Huazhou is beautiful and beautiful. After Jiang governor took office, the business tax increased dramatically, and the people were prosperous, and their desire to learn was increasing day by day. My father mentioned in his letter that as long as Dr. Lu was willing to go to Jimin Academy to serve as the mountain chief, in addition to the normal Shu You, he should also serve 400 taels of tea." In this way, Lu Wenwen came to Jimin Academy to serve as the mountain chief.
Looking at the deep-scarlet official uniform that came out of the official sedan chair, Lu Wenwen's eyes flashed with envy, and he took everyone behind him and said respectfully: "Welcome to the governor."
Jiang Anyi smiled and walked up to hold Lu Wenwen's hand and said, "Mr. Lu is knowledgeable and talented, and is willing to go to Jimin Academy as the chief of the mountain from the Imperial College. It is a blessing for Huazhou and a blessing for all students. The teacher's arrival is like a long drought.
Gan Lin, Jiang was overjoyed. With a gentleman here, the literary style of Huazhou will be prosperous."
Lu Wenwen recalled Fei Jijiu's words in his mind at this moment, "Governor Jiang is young and promising, and Wen Wen can get along well with him early, which will be beneficial to his career in the future." He learned that Governor Jiang did not like luxury, so he specially wore a simple blue cloth shirt today. I wonder if it could increase Governor Jiang's favor.
Seeing that Lu Wenwen was a little confused, Jiang Anyi thought he was working hard for the celebration, so he didn't care. He smiled and bowed to the lecturers and others beside him. Lu Wenwen woke up and gave in and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is not a place to speak. Please go to Minglun Hall to speak."
The academy is located in the embrace of Cuishan, facing north and south, slowly upward along more than a hundred stone steps. The stone wall on one side has been polished and smoothed, with the name of the donor scholar engraved on it. He Wencai was in charge of the academy and managed the academy's finance, purchase, repair and other affairs. Of course, the specific affairs are handled by his servants, and he wanted this title.
As a manager, He Wencai was very clear about the money donated to study and gathered beside the governor Jiang and introduced: "This time, Jimin Academy received a total of 21,346 taels of donated silver, 12 hectares of land... The remaining silver is 8,143 taels, He is planning to purchase some more land..."
When he reached the end of the stone steps, Jiang Anyi saw that his name was engraved under his name among the previous names. The Ning family donated 5,000 taels of silver. The gentry behind him had more than 1,000 taels, and the fewer were also 200 taels. He smiled and said, "All the lords are eager to be righteous. They donated generously to the village. It is admirable, especially Mr. Ning, who is very wise and respectful. Jiang suggested that Mr. Ning become the honorary mountain leader."
Everyone applauded, and they always took advantage of the money they had to come up with. There were thousands of people who could be remembered. The title of honorary mountain chief was definitely known to the people.
Ningbo did not wait on the mountain legs. He was old and went to the mountain to rest in the academy in the morning. He heard the governor Jiang lead people up the mountain and go out to greet him with the help of the butler Ning An. He happened to hear Jiang Anyi award him the title of honorary mountain chief. He was so excited that his beard shook and said loudly: "I am sorry, I dare not take it. Only by doing more practical things for the academy can I deserve the title of honorary mountain chief. Thank you for your kindness."
The four big characters "Jimin Academy" on the gate of the academy are written by Fu Ruyang, the Imperial College, but the couplets on both sides are empty. Lu Wenwen smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang is a master of poetry and prose, and the couplets of Jimin Academy are still to be written by the adults."
Literati were very interested in this kind of title, poem, and couplet. Jiang Anyi was no exception. He took the pen happily and thought for a moment and wrote it in one go: Archaeology proves the present, and applying it is about the world; worry first and then enjoy it, and be sure to be in youth.
"Okay," Lu Wenwen praised: "This couplet reveals the true meaning of reading. When a young man works hard, he will first be bitter and then sweet, and put it into practice as he learns, and cares about the affairs of the world. How wonderful it is."
Ningbo rolled his beard and said, "This couplet is worried first and then happy. A sentence comes from a famous line in the "Songchang Tower Notes" by the great man: worry about the world first and worry about the world first and enjoy the world later, which is thought-provoking. Jimin Academy has added a lot of glory because of this couplet of the great man."
Entering the gate, there are lecture halls, Minglun Hall and east-west rooms, library and east-west doors, dining halls, instructor houses, Chongsheng Temple, east-west side rooms, Kuixing Tower and east-west corridor rooms, etc. The academy is newly built, and the doors, windows, tables and chairs are still fragrant with trees. The books in the library are brand new. Jiang Anyi opens a book casually, and the faint ink fragrance is revealed, making people obsessed. The pavilions and leisure places on both sides of the main body have not been completely settled. After all, it has only been half a year, and there are still many places that need to be repaired slowly, but the academy is solemn and dignified.
The heavy, peaceful and quiet atmosphere has begun to appear.
The people in Minglun Hall were sitting there, and Lu Wenwen introduced: "The academy has one mountain leader, two lecturers and two assistant lecturers; two new students are recruited, including 60 scholars and 60 children, and the rest are all children..." This is different from other academies. Most academies do not recruit children, but Jiang Anyi thought that Huazhou was in constant wars and many families were unable to study. Now the situation is getting better, so he simply told Ningbo and others about his plans at the beginning of his school, asking them to recruit children who were misleading into the academies as much as possible.
After Lu Wenwen finished speaking, Jiang Anyi said: "The new creation of the academy is an opportunity for everything to be renewed. Nearly half of the academy is a child, and it is necessary to work hard for several gentlemen. These students are the seeds of scholars in Huazhou. I just read the list, most of them are children of poor families. Jiang was born in a farmer family and knew the difficulty of poor children studying, so he decided to fund the food of each poor family, so he paid 80% of the student staff of the government. This time, I will continue to do so. "
He Wencai stood up and responded, "Sir, respect the instructions."
After drinking a cup of tea, Lu Wenwen smiled and said, "Today, Jimin Academy was completed, so please ask the adults to say a few words to the students of the Academy to encourage them."
Jiang Anyi stood up and walked towards the lecture hall surrounded by everyone. The lecture hall of Jimin Academy was very large, and it spread out like a fan on the podium in the middle. The tables and chairs behind the terrain gradually rose up and surrounded the podium from a high point. This was also what Jiang Anyi had come up with.
As Governor Jiang, Lu Shanchang and others walked into the lecture hall, the students calmed down and looked at the teachers on the podium with bright eyes, waiting for the first article of preaching and teaching and solving doubts.
Lu Wenwen said with a clear cough: "Mr. Jiang has an article called "The Inscription on Huangyang", which starts with: Mountains are not high, immortals are famous, water is not deep, and dragons are in spirit. Today, Jimin Academy is completed, and its reputation is not obvious. Not to mention that compared with Imperial College, Zechang Academy, and Zhangyi Academy, even other academies are inferior."
Lu Wenwen is worthy of being a doctor in the Imperial College. He grabbed everyone's hearts as soon as he opened his mouth. Looking around the slightly confused faces behind the desk, Lu Wenwen felt proud and continued: "There are many scholars among you who are famous. If scholars don't go out, they can understand the world. I probably have heard of Huangyang Academy in Lizhou."
Many people nodded. Huangyang Academy has been in the limelight in recent years and has produced several Jinshi. I heard that Huangyang Academy was founded when Jiang governor was appointed as the county magistrate of Fuluo County. Now Jiang governor is an official in Huazhou, Jimin Academy may become as famous as Huangyang Academy.
After the excited discussion calmed down a little, Lu Wenwen smiled and said, "Yes, Huangyang Academy was founded by the Governor Jiang. The "Huangyang Inscription" I just mentioned was written by Lord Jiang for the students when he was founded by Huangyang Academy. Today, Jiang also wrote a couplet for our academy, 'Article proves the present, and it is important to use it. Be worried first and then be happy, and be determined to be in youth', to encourage everyone to take advantage of the youth to work hard and not let Huangyang Academy be beautiful in the past. The academy is a place to cultivate talents. The Imperial College and Zechang Academy are famous all over the world because they have existed for a long time, but because they have cultivated many students like Lord Jiang. Students, if you work hard in the academy today, the academy will be glorious because of you in the future. Jimin Academy will become a famous academy like Zechang Academy and Zhangyi Academy."
