What does Feng Shangshu mean by the right path for the common people?
"Your Majesty, I have visited the Imperial College and the major academies in Jinling City in the past few days. Although the Imperial College is not exaggerated as Kong Jijiu said, it is indeed in urgent need of repairs."
"And most of the academies in Jinling City have old buildings and financial constraints."
"I sincerely ask Your Majesty to take pity on the students in the world!"
"Allocate funds to build a new academy and give them a safe place to study!"
Feng Baigong was halfway through his long memorial.
All the ministers were shocked.
Isn’t what this entire article is about a replica of Kong Jijiu’s admonition to fake his own death at the beginning of the year?
No! It’s more serious than that!
Master Feng not only talked about the Imperial College, but also focused on the well-known civilian academies in Jinling City. The whole article only meant two words: asking for money!
Still asking for big money from the little emperor!
well.
How could the little emperor agree to such a thing?
If the little emperor gets angry and wants to dismiss Feng Shangshu from his post, they will have to suffer again and go against the little emperor.
Although the little emperor has never been able to play with them, he was incompetent and furious every time.
But it’s always very frustrating.
Feng Baigong's memorial has not yet been finished.
"Your Majesty, you once said that you would expand the Tongque Palace to the size of the Imperial City."
"If we just copy the imperial city, it would be too empty, too old-fashioned, and not worthy of the original drawings of the Tongque Palace designed by His Majesty himself."
Feng Baigong paused and motioned to his subordinates at the Ministry of Works to bring out a drawing.
Spread out on the ground under the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, this is the sketch of the new Tongque Palace designed by our Ministry of Industry. It adopts a style that is very different from the imperial city. The original intention of the design is just two words, lively!"
"There are restaurants, academies, theaters, and... buildings of various types and functions, everything you want!"
"If Your Majesty stays in Tongque Palace from now on, it will be a place for fun outside the inner city, which is very convenient!"
Talked a lot.
All the ministers saw that the little emperor was obviously interested.
Feng Baigong finally got back to the topic.
"As a kind of building, the academy is an indispensable component of a city. I believe that it must be built sooner or later. Then it is better to be among the first to start construction. Once completed, it will be used for students to study with peace of mind."
Immediately afterwards.
Feng Baigong listed a lot of money data again.
As these accounts show, the Tongque Palace amusement project is very profitable. According to careful calculations by the Ministry of Industry, building an academy around the Tongque Palace in the southern suburbs will not have any impact on the construction progress of the Tongque Palace in terms of money.
"In terms of craftsmen, the Ministry of Industry, which is used in the Tongque Palace, has its own craftsmen. For the construction of the academy, private craftsmen can be hired, and there will be no conflict."
After hearing this, the ministers thought it was a plan to build a small city.
Looking at Feng Baigong.
Astonishing!
No matter whether this city building plan can be realized or not, the little emperor must have taken it seriously now!
In such a huge plan, priority is given to building a number of small academies.
The little emperor will definitely not care.
Feng Shangshu!
High!
All civil and military officials looked at Feng Baigong with their high-altitude gazes.
The officials from the Ministry of Industry saw this familiar look.
Stand tall and proud.
Are you envious of such a Shangguan who can deal with a foolish emperor, appease the people, and still make a lot of money?
There’s no point in being envious!
Feng Shangshu is a technical official of the Ministry of Industry, so you can leave as long as you want!
And as expected.
The emperor looked at the drawings and was delighted!
"Feng Aiqing, I like the design of the new Tongque Palace very much, so I built it like this!"
"As for which buildings to build first, it is up to your Ministry of Industry to decide. Just looking at this picture, I find that the decision to promote you to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry is indeed the most correct decision I have ever made!"
"I accept the decree!"
The ministers also believed deeply in the little emperor's words.
That’s right!
After taking the throne for more than half a year, the only wise thing you have done is your promotion to Feng Shangshu.
Down towards the back.
The officials all surrounded Feng Baigong with sincere admiration.
"Today I finally understood something: nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing!"
"Kong Jijiu was both a stubborn admonisher and a poor person, but he was treated as a joke by the emperor and didn't pay a penny."
"But today Feng Shangshu seems to be ordinary, but he hears thunder in the silent place!"
"On behalf of all the scholars in the world, I would like to thank Feng Shangshu!
What happened in the morning court quickly spread throughout Jinling City.
The scholars were instantly excited.
"You can actually convince a foolish king who only knows how to waste money to take the initiative to spend money to build an academy. Lord Feng is so awesome!"
"Master Feng has really worked hard for us scholars!"
"Although it sounds calm, Lord Feng is taking a huge risk with this move. If the young emperor is not interested in the new Tongque Palace drawings, then Lord Feng will definitely not have an easy life."
"I am a student of Mingshan Academy. I want to go to Feng Mansion to pay my respects. Can you all go with me?"
"Let's go together!"
"We must go together!"
Zhou Kongfang happened to be a guest at Feng Mansion.
Even though the door was clearly closed, there were still words of thanks that sounded like praises to saints outside. I was happy for Brother Feng, but felt sour in my heart.
I take the blame!
The good reputation is all yours!
If it weren't for the large amount of money to comfort him, Zhou Kongfang would really want to leave the table in anger!
"Brother Feng is going to take the academy leaders to the southern suburbs to look at houses in the afternoon?"
"It's natural!"
"It took two months of planning, and now it's all settled in accordance with His Majesty's arrangements. It's time for the students to have a spacious and bright place to study."
"Brother Feng is vigorous and resolute, I admire him!"
"Then I can't wait any longer. When I get back, I'll prepare the rental and sale of the school district house!
Only a short lunch break in the afternoon.
Feng Baigong asked his subordinates to invite the heads of the major academies in Jinling City.
"Everyone, I think you all know what happened in the morning, right?"
"On behalf of all the students in the world, I would like to thank Master Feng!"
"No need for this! I don't like nonsense. Since you all know that, are you willing to move the academy to the outer city area of Tongque Palace in the southern suburbs?"
"Our colleges are in dilapidated condition. If there are good houses for students to study, I would naturally like it!"
"very good."
"Let me tell you in advance that other relocation process departments will help, but you still need to worry about moving out of the old location."
"This is as it should be, we know it."
"Well, let's go to the southern suburbs with me now."
"You should carefully choose where to place the academy in the future. Once it is decided, it cannot be changed."
It’s not just the heads of various academies.
The students of the corresponding academy heard that a new site for the academy needs to be designated.
Many people also came excitedly.
"Here we are, right here."
"The biggest and best place along the river is reserved for the Imperial College, so you don't need to see it."
"The remaining areas will be decided by drawing lots in order to avoid harming the harmony."
"Everyone looks at the map number, and then writes a secret mark to the officer. If there is no conflict, the contract will be made on the spot. If there is a conflict, lots will be drawn first and then the contract will be made."
Feng Baigong talks about the rules.
But all the academy principals and students who were following him had expressions of shock on their faces and hesitated to speak.
Finally there was a young student.
I couldn't help but ask.
"Master Feng, by doing this, are you deceiving the emperor?"
