Chapter 230 Source of Students
Thanks to Li Ke's unremitting efforts, Xishan Academy finally completed all the work, including decoration, before the first day of September.
On this day, Li Ke came back to resume his life.
After Li Er learned that the academy was completed, he notified everyone involved in the academy, including the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.
"My lord, my father's imperial edict has arrived. Go and pick it up quickly," Li Xiangcheng urged.
Wang Ning'an was getting dressed and said, "Can you help me pick it up? These clothes are really difficult to wear. It seems I have to design a few new sets of clothes."
Li Xiangcheng glanced at Wang Ning'an, came over to help Wang Ning'an get dressed, and said, "Ms. sir, you can actually design clothes, why didn't I know."
Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "I know a lot of things. You go and ask the tailor to come over. I will design a few sets of clothes now and let him make them."
"Forget it, the angel delivering the message is still outside the door, you'd better go and receive the message first." Li Xiangcheng thought about what he wanted to say.
"Tailor, please call me first, and then I'll draw the design when I get back."
"Okay."
After Wang Ning'an got dressed, he kissed Li Xiangcheng and ran to receive the order.
"It turns out to be General Li. Sorry to keep you waiting."
Li Sheng snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty has a decree for you to go see the driver as soon as possible."
Wang Ning'an said: "I obey the order."
By the time Wang Ning'an arrived at the palace, everyone else had already arrived.
Li Er said in a deep voice: "Ning'an, why did you come so late?"
Wang Ning'an cupped his hands and responded: "Wei Chen is worried about the new students in the academy. So it's too late."
"It seems that you already know that the academy has been completed." Li Er said.
Wang Ning'an looked at Yan Shigu, Kong Yingda, the Supreme Emperor, and this boy in the palace, and thought to himself: "Can I not guess it?"
"Reporting to my father, there are only three days left before the start date set by Erchen. I believe that Li Ke will be able to complete the task, so I am worried about the students."
The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan said: "Don't worry about the students, I will make arrangements for them. Just tell me, how do you want to hold the opening ceremony?"
"Sun Chen has already thought about this."
"That's good." Li Yuan nodded.
Li Er also said: "These first batch of students are all the children of the royal family and ministers. Children under the age of fifteen will go to Xishan Academy to study."
"Thank you, father." Wang Ning'an said immediately.
Li Ke said: "Father, my son has not reached the age of fifteen yet. Do you want to go to the academy?"
"Of course, not only you, but Cheng Qian and Qing Que are also going," Li Er said.
Wang Ning'an said: "Li Ke, don't worry, the academy must be better than you think." Then he cupped his hands to Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, the academy is under closed management, so both teachers and students will live in the academy.
Without the consent of the highest leader of the academy, that is, the dean or the mountain chief, that is, the emperor or his majesty, no one is allowed to go down the mountain.
Unless the student has a valid reason, such as having a wedding banquet, holding a funeral, etc., the teacher can decide
besides……"
All of a sudden, Wang Ning'an explained the rules of the academy, just like the rules of the future school, as well as scholarships, fellowships, etc.
After Kong Yingda listened, he raised his hands to Wang Ning'an and said, "My congratulations, the academy gives students a certain amount of motivation, reputation, and even a bright future. Such a
Come, students will definitely rush to study."
"Yes, I have already seen a prosperous age." Yan Shigu also said.
Everyone nodded.
Li Er said: "I asked everyone to come here today because I am thinking about the opening ceremony of the first academy of the Tang Dynasty, Xishan Academy.
Father, you are the dean, I am the mountain chief, Master Kong and Master Yan are the deans, responsible for managing all fathers and sons. Ning'an is the financial director, and all expenses of the academy need to be approved by him, so the five of us are
The most powerful person in the academy.
It is impossible for me and my father to manage the academy all the time. There are only three of you as real administrators, so I will hand over the important task to you three today."
"Wait a minute." Li Yuan stood up and said: "Shimin, after the academy starts, I have decided to live in the academy and manage the academy. I am tired of living in this palace and want to change my life."
"Since my father has made this decision, I am also very happy." Li Er said respectfully, "Wang Ning'an, I want you to build a palace on the Western Mountain for the Emperor to live in."
Wang Ning'an cupped his hands and said, "My son, I obey."
"No, no, I will live in the academy, Ning'an. You don't need to bother me. Just give me a place to stay in the academy." Li Yuan said.
Wang Ning'an immediately said: "Grandpa Emperor, don't worry, Sun Chen has already built houses for the dean, mountain chief, master, and students in the academy.
The dean and mountain chief have their own villas, the masters have separate rooms, and the students share a room of six."
"Six people per room?" Li Ke couldn't help but exclaimed.
How can these six people live in one room? Where are the servants? Where do they live?
Wang Ning'an saw the shocked Li Ke and said with a smile: "Yes, there are six people in a room. All students have to make their own clothes, quilts, and water for bathing every day, except for meals prepared in the cafeteria.
"
"We are asked to wash our own clothes, lay out our quilts, and prepare our own bath water? Then we have to walk a mile." Li Ke said dissatisfied.
"This is a study in the academy, allowing you to learn about daily life, and there will be field training and so on in the future," Wang Ning'an said.
"I like this study very much. It allows you stubborn people to know how incompetent you are."
"Father, not only that, I am also planning to introduce a credit system. If you want to graduate from the academy smoothly, you need a certain number of credits. The initial credits are ten, which is the same for everyone. If you attend classes on time, your credits will increase. Those who perform well will have
credit.
Moreover, credits will be deducted. When the credits are negative, they will have no choice but to be asked to go down the mountain, which will disgrace themselves and their family. There is nothing I can do about it."
"I also like this system, so that those stubborn people know the consequences of being lazy and lazy." Li Er nodded.
"Emperor, stop talking nonsense, business is important." Li Yuan was impatient with the wait, "Ning'an, what do you plan to do for the opening ceremony? Because it is the academy you proposed, I plan to leave the opening ceremony to you."
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang. Sun Chen has already thought about it. First, Grandpa Huang and my father will lead all the teachers and students to kowtow to Confucius.
Next, the flag of the academy was raised, the academy song, a unique song of the academy, was played and sung; then the oath was taken under the banner of the academy, and the teachers present were introduced thirdly. Fourthly, the dean and the mountain chief gave a speech to all the teachers and students, and then let the representative of the master speak,
Let the student representatives speak, and finally the ministers will give the closing words.”
"Yuan Qi and Yuan Ge? I've never heard of them." Li Er asked.
Li Yuan and others
Others looked at each other wondering if they had heard of it.
Wang Ning'an said: "This is what I just thought of. The courtyard flag represents the academy, just like the handsome flag represents the commander.
As for the college song, it is used to boost morale. Our college is united and has great momentum! The collective righteousness is so great that it is said that gold is not strong. Only by being kind to others can we learn widely, know the past and present, and open up the past. Mingde.
Sincerely, the new people are sincere. When the time comes, stop, and when the time goes, go. The sky is vast and the sun is bright. You are looking forward to your style, but you are the only one."
Immediately, Wang Ning'an sang the future famous courtyard song.
"Wonderful, wonderful, it's really wonderful. The unity of our colleges is so great! The collective righteousness is so great that it is said that gold is not strong. Only by being kind to others is..." Kong Yingda couldn't help but sing out.
Li Er's blood boiled involuntarily, and he really wanted to become a student seeking knowledge.
Wang Ning'an continued: "Father, I hope that this school song, whether it is father, son or student, can sing it on the first day of school. This includes father and grandfather.
Therefore, I hope that the imperial court can give this lyrics to all students."
"No problem, no problem." Li Yuan said first.
Li Er could only nod helplessly.
Next came some trivial matters. Wang Ning'an had already arranged them, which made Li Er and others feel at ease.
Li Er valued this academy very much, so he knew everything about it very clearly.
In the next few days, those students who were going to the academy practiced academy songs at home.
"Dad, why don't you let me go?" Li Jingren asked.
Li Daozong said: "Wang Ning'an's academy is just for publicity. In the future, you will be the heir to the throne. How can you go to that kind of academy?"
"My child knows."
Yuchi Gong said to Yuchi Baolin: "Baolin, let your second brother explore the way. You don't have to go this time."
"All right."
At Duke Lu's Mansion, Cheng Yaojin slapped Cheng Chumo on the back of the head and said, "I've been memorizing it for two days, why haven't I recited it yet? I don't want to ask for your quota from His Majesty."
"Dad, it's almost time. I'm about to recite it."
"Hmph, if you still can't recite it by night, I'll embarrass you tomorrow and I'll beat you to death."
In Changsun Mansion, Changsun Wuji said to Changsun Chong: "Chong'er, after arriving at the academy, my father cannot help you for the time being. If you need anything, you can go to Wang Ning'an."
"Dad, don't worry. In the past two days, the child has started to learn to fold quilts and wash clothes."
"That's good. But I heard that the academy also advocates exercise. You have been weak since you were a child. This is the thing that worries me the most."
"The child will definitely not force himself."
"Um."
Niu Jinda, Li Ji, Fang Xuanling and others all warned their sons that the people they sent out were not the eldest son's direct grandson, but the second son, or even the son of a concubine. These people were not welcomed at home at all.
"Husband-in-law, this is the list of students that was just sent out from the palace. Please take a look at it." Yinqiao obediently handed the list to Wang Ning'an.
Li Xiangcheng glanced at the list in Wang Ning'an's hand and said, "They are too much."
Yinqiao immediately asked curiously: "What's wrong with the princess?"
Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "For an academy with unknown origins, it is enough to have one person. How can we expect them to send their heirs to study in our academy?"
Chapter completed!
