Jiajing's intense interest in the book "Theory of Understanding and Knowing" made Yan Song, who was beside him, feel alert. It seems that Yang Cong has not been trampled to death!

If Yang Cong compiled this book, Jiajing would definitely look at it with admiration. When Yang Cong was active again, it was very likely that he would start to get up again.

What to do?

Yan Song pretended to be unconscious and looked at Yang Cong who was calm and composed, then secretly glanced at the angry Xia Yan, and began to think about it in his heart.

At this time, it is definitely unrealistic to stop Yang Cong from editing books. No matter how it is, Jiajing would not agree, and he could not find a reason to stop it.

So, how can Yang Cong deal with the book after compiling it?

Perhaps, it is not very appropriate to deal with Xia Yan now. Should I let this fool stay and continue to fight with Yang Cong, and then I will completely trample Yang Cong to death first?

While he was planning, Yang Cong suddenly said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for, but I don't know whether to say it."

Sure enough, this guy wanted to take the opportunity again!

When Yan Song heard this, he felt a sudden thrust in his heart.

This guy Yang Cong is really terrible. If he hadn't been confused and embezzled the dirty silver of those corrupt officials in Guangxi to encourage the reopening of land, he would probably have no way to stop this guy from escalating.

At this moment, he seemed to be going to use the editing of books to win Jiajing's favor and join the officialdom again.

What should I do?

Yan Song couldn't help but glance at Jiajing secretly. He hoped that Jiajing, a fool, could remember the "big mistake" that Yang Cong made at the beginning and refused his request to reenter the officialdom.

Jiajing is in a good mood now. A set of masterpieces will be born under his hands. He will also spread his name to the ages. This great thing is right in front of him. How could he remember what mistakes Yang Cong made?

Without thinking, he said without hesitation: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Yang Cong said in a slew manner: "Zhu Xi said that the so-called knowledge is to investigate things. If you want to obtain knowledge, you should understand things and explore the principles. The spirit of the human heart has all knowledge, but all things in the world have reason. However, the reason has not been exhausted, so the knowledge has not been exhausted. Therefore, the teaching of "The Great Learning" must make scholars, all things in the world, lose them because of the known principles, so they can achieve the ultimate goal. I think it is very reasonable, and if you study things, you should explore the principles. Therefore, I want to open a college and teach craftsmen, military households, and farmers' children, so that they can be proficient in investigating things and explore the principles, thus forming a new trend of investigating things and learning the principles, which makes the book "Theory of Investigating Things and Learning Knowing" more profound."

This is a good thing!

Of course, Jiajing hoped that "Theory of Investigating Things and Knowing Knowledge" could be spread among the students, so that his fame would become more widely circulated by later generations with the spread of the book "Theory of Investigating Things and Knowing Knowledge". If the book "Theory of Investigating Things and Knowing Knowledge" was compiled and left behind, how much influence would it have?

He couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, very good. Where are you going to build the college and how much labor do you need to recruit in the capital?"

He was too lazy to ask about money. Yang Cong had money and just built a college, so he definitely didn't care about this little money.

Yang Cong said solemnly: "Weichen thinks that the scenery of Yuyuantan on the west side of the capital is a good place for the establishment of the college. I wonder if the emperor can allocate the mountains that are extremely near Yuyuantan to us. As for labor, we can find a way by ourselves, so we won't bother Shuntian Prefecture."

Yuyuantan is indeed a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. It was once the royal garden in the Jin and Liao dynasties. However, during the Song Dynasty, the capital was not in Shuntian, so it began to be abandoned. After moving the capital to Shuntian during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the royal garden was located in Nanhaizi, south of the capital. Therefore, it has been deserted and has not been opened by the royal family.

It’s just a wasteland, what’s the point? Besides, these days, we encourage the establishment of schools and colleges. Many court officials will spend their life savings to establish colleges after retirement, and many people have been praised by later generations.

Of course, I have to support this kind of good thing with all my strength. Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I will give you a radius of Yuyuantan to build a college. By the way, what's the name of this college?"

Yang Cong thought for a false sense: "Since it is to promote the principle of studying things and learning, it is better to call it the School of Physics. Does the emperor think it is OK?"

Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but ponder: "School of Physics, well, this name is quite unique, so it's called the School of Physics."

Yang Cong took the opportunity to shoot: "When the college is completed, I want to ask the emperor to write a name in person to demonstrate the emperor's support for teaching and educating people. I wonder if it is possible?"

This flattery, Jiajing nodded without thinking and said, "Okay, I will give you a name at that time."

He didn't think about what his words looked like. Yang Cong practiced the fonts of Tang Bohu, and it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false after writing them. Jiajing's stinky words were simply incomparable.

Of course, the symbolic significance of the emperor's personal title is naturally greater than that of the top scholar. If we talk about the qualifications for title, no one in the world can compete with Jiajing.

In short, one of these two people is shameless and flattering, and the other is shameless and has no shame. The king and his subjects get along and have a great conversation.

Yan Song, who was standing beside him, was stunned. He really didn't expect that Yang Cong would make such a request.

Establish a college?

Teaching and educating people?

What a joke?

Of course he knew where Yuyuantan was. That place was not in the city, and it was more than ten miles away from the capital.

What does Yang Cong mean? He went to Yuyuantan to run a college. Could it be that he is really indifferent to fame and fortune and does not want to participate in the battle for power in the court?

At this time, he couldn't help but aim at Xia Yan.

If Yang Congzhen goes out to run schools outside the capital, there will be no threat. At least there will be no threat within a few years, because it will take at least a few years to build a college and recruit students and prepare for teaching.

So, have you taken the opportunity to ruin Xia Yan in recent years?

Xia Yan didn't know that Yan Song had opened his mouth and was about to bite him. He was also shocked by Yang Cong's thoughts.

What’s wrong with this guy? I’m going to run a school if I have a good future!

Running a school is indeed a good thing, but that is for those who have retired from the officialdom or who have been in trouble for various reasons. Who can really survive in the officialdom without football? Isn’t that not doing the job?

Isn't this guy really want to quit the officialdom and retire to the mountains and forests from now on?

Will Yang Cong really be in a state of work and go to concentrate on running schools?

Of course not. The reason why he ran outside the capital to establish a physics college was mainly to "create opportunities" for Yan Song, so that Yan Song could avoid worries and concentrate on dealing with Xia Yan!

He found that Yan Song was too cautious. It seemed that if he didn't completely deteriorate to death, Yan Song wouldn't fight with Xia Yan.

So, he simply went to Yuyuantan to run a school to suggest that he had completely withdrawn from the struggle for officialdom.

Of course, his school was not just to "create opportunities" for Yan Song. He wanted to promote the principle of studying things and learning, which was true. He wanted to recruit a group of students, which was true.

Anyway, the compilation of "Theory of Understanding and Knowing" has not been completely completed at this moment, so he would not have left behind this book that had been compiled for half of the time and suddenly ran into the officialdom to fight Yan Song and Xia Yan to the death. This kind of fake withdrawal may be the best choice.
Chapter completed!
