Chapter 871(1/2)
After Xiaobao captured Zhou Li, Zhao Ce and his family could have a temporary rest for a few days.
The primary school in the other side of the ancestral hall is under construction, and the archway at the entrance of the village is also under construction.
After eating the water mat every day, the people of Shuiqiao Village sneak to the ancestral hall or the entrance of the village to see the construction process of these two buildings.
Many students in the city, or their parents, have also visited Shuiqiao Village specifically to admire the scenery of the top scholar.
Those who come here can also go to the ancestral hall to have a free meal before going back.
So even after Zhao Ce came back, there were still traffic in Shuiqiao Village and people came in a constant stream.
I took a few days to rest.
Li Xiucai and the newly appointed Zheng County Magistrate went to Zhao Ce's home together.
Although Zhao Ce's rewards are basically over now, and his contributions are all in Beijing and other places.
It is basically not the turn of him to give him a local magistrate to make his political achievements.
But the magistrate of Zheng was naturally respectful to Zhao Ce.
Zhao Ce received two people in the front hall.
Lord Zheng bowed, and Li Xiucai also nodded to Zhao Ce.
After Zhao Ce sat down, Li Xiucai directly told them the purpose of their arrival today.
"You said before that you want to run a college."
"I happened to meet Lord Zheng when I was looking for a suitable place in the city not long ago."
"After Master Zheng learned about this, he said that there was a place suitable for building our academy."
When Zhao Ce came back, he told Li Xiucai that he would run a college.
If the primary school in Shuiqiao Village is completed, it will naturally bring a lot of students to the academies with achievements.
These students are naturally the best with the help of Li Xiucai to settle them.
Although Li Xiucai doesn't want to be too busy.
But Zhao Ce spoke, and he didn't want to refuse.
So after capturing Zhou Li, he did his best to start dealing with this matter.
If you run a college, the little place at his home is definitely not enough.
You have to find a place separately and build it.
The houses in the city are basically owned.
It's really not easy to find a large enough place.
It happened that Li Xiucai met Lord Zheng. After hearing about this, Master Zheng thought about it for a moment and decided to let the government come forward to help them handle the matter well.
The two of them came today for this reason.
After hearing this, Zhao Ce asked about where Lord Zheng was talking about.
This location is in the outer city, although the location is not very good.
But the victory is big enough.
Moreover, after the academy is built, Lord Zheng will strengthen public security in the outer city.
Zhao Ce nodded and said, "This is a good location."
"Our academy has just been completed, and I guess there will be no more students."
"But it's always good to be prepared for any trouble, it's always better to have a bigger place."
Lord Zheng smiled after hearing Zhao Ce's words.
I thought you are now six yuan, but are you still afraid that no one will come to the academy you run?
When I was just a little Sanyuan, the threshold of Li Xiucai's school was almost flattened.
If this academy opens in the future, there is no need to think about this grand occasion.
It is estimated that there are more students in the county than in minutes.
Li Xiucai also smiled and said, "With Lord Zheng's help, it will be much easier to run our academy."
"As for the masters of the academy, I'm also looking for them."
"I believe there will be a result soon."
The academy can definitely be handled.
Li Xiucai is now trying to get on the progress and see if he can get the academy done before Zhao Ce sets out to the capital.
Zhao Ce said: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Li Xiucai waved his hand.
"Thank you hard is nothing, I will always benefit from it."
Li Xiucai said it a little straightforwardly. Lord Zheng, who was standing by, felt a little novel about the relationship between the two masters and apprentices.
These two people are more like two friends than masters and apprentices.
Just as he was thinking, Zhao Ce mentioned his name again.
Lord Zheng came to his senses.
"Mr. Marquis, what else do you have to do?"
Zhao Ce said: "When I'm in the academy, I'll thank you for your help."
"Since the address of this academy is large enough, I wonder if I can draw a place on the side and build a bookstore as a library that everyone in our county can use?"
"Of course, this library was given to the county by our academy."
"Build a book building... a library?"
Lord Zheng tightened his hands on both sides.
Just now, he thought that Zhao Ce made contributions no matter how much he made, it had nothing to do with him.
Now I happened to meet his husband and helped solve the school address of the academy.
Unexpectedly, he would repay his kindness.
Want to build a library to make your own achievements?
Lord Zheng was happy, but his face was still under control.
But while talking, he was even more respectful and polite to Zhao Ce.
"How does the Marquis plan to build it?"
Zhao Ce said: "This library marks a separate place on the side of the academy."
"Although it still belongs to the academy, anyone can borrow the books in it."
"As for the collection of books, Lord Zheng doesn't have to worry."
“I can provide most of it alone.”
"The remaining ones can be donated by any company."
"At that time, we will erect a stone tablet at the entrance of the academy to commend these scholars."
The library that Zhao Ce envisions is similar to that of modern ones.
Although anyone can read books for free, if you borrow books, you have to apply for a book loan card.
A deposit is required for applying for a card.
This era.
Ordinary families have books, but they are basically hidden at home and can be shared with friends at most.
But the library that Zhao Ce mentioned is not like this.
This is actually a place where the people can read books for free?
And, most importantly.
This library is given to the county!
If this library can be really built, then as the main host, Master Zheng, the contribution he has made can be imagined!
When the library is completed, the people will praise themselves with each other.
Those students can also have a good place to encourage and assist students.
This is the merit of education!
Such good governance and such cultural events...
Which official who wants to make achievements can refuse?
Lord Zheng had a smile on his face, wishing he could applaud.
To be continued...
