There used to be a lot of jasmine in the yard of Moli Xuan, but a lot of it has died over the years. This time it was repaired and replanted. Li Xiaolu also designed the garden landscape, built walls and leaky windows like a Soviet-style garden, and built rockeries.
Pool. Finally, the newly restored Moli Pavilion has become the same style as many fake ancient buildings in the original time and space.
Wang Ci was dumbfounded when he saw it. Lingao has never had the concept of a private garden. Except for the water and stone decoration in the backyard of the county government office, Moli Xuan is the best artificial landscape in the county. It is often used by local officials.
A place where literati gathered for banquets.
As for the short construction period, Wang Ci found it unimaginable - the thieves did not see any special mechanical assistance, and there were not many workers used - according to Wang Ci's estimation, if he
If people are organized to repair it, it will take more than half a month to rest. Not to mention that the Australians have also expanded many new buildings on the old site of Moli Xuan.
In addition to the original buildings, the construction team added several more buildings, including a two-story water pavilion for parties and banquets, classrooms and dormitories built in a modern style, and toilets and bathhouses.
When Wang Ci saw that many new houses had been added, he couldn't help but go to Xiong Buyou, who was coordinating at the construction site, to inquire about the use of these houses.
"Of course it works," Xiong Buyou smiled, "Molixuan used to be an academy."
Molixuan was an academy in the Song Dynasty, and it went through many ups and downs. It also served as an academy for a long time in the Ming Dynasty, but when Wang Ci came to Lingao, the academy was already in name only. The reason is simple - no money.
County schools still lack funds, let alone free schools like Molixuan that rely on private funds. Originally, there were hundreds of acres of land under their names as a source of funds for the free schools. However, as time went by, it gradually became stolen, sold, and occupied by powerful landlords.
Occupation has long been a mess. Without funds, we cannot afford to hire smart teachers or provide tuition fees, and students will naturally disappear.
"Does Chief Xiong mean to restore Molixuan Academy?" Wang Ci said excitedly.
"Of course, otherwise what will you do after repairing it, just use it for drinking?"
"This is really a great kindness!" Wang Ci bowed to the end excitedly, "Students bow to the scholars in Lingao..."
"Okay, okay, no need for false etiquette." Xiong Buyou thought to himself, don't be too busy representing someone. You still don't know that this thing is actually a sugar-coated cannonball: it tastes very sweet when you lick it now, and you will know what's inside later.
Something.
After the reconstruction project of Moli Xuan was completed, Lingao County held a "warm", "simple" and "harmonious" ribbon-cutting ceremony. Wu Mingjin was originally unwilling to show up in front of the thief, but the reconstruction of Moli Xuan was a big event for the county.
, it is a major event that is beneficial to education. If you don’t show up, it will seem “not close to the people”. So you have to show up.
Wang Ci was once again taken advantage of by the Traveling Group. He worked tirelessly to travel around and delivered invitations to Moli Xuan's ribbon-cutting ceremony to the gentry and scholars in the county. The executive committee estimated that based on Moli Xuan's local popularity and significance,
Said that these people would not refuse to attend.
Sure enough, not only the officials and scholars in the county said that this was a huge event and they must come, but even Liu Dalin, who was not very confident in the executive committee, also said that this was a major event that would benefit the education of the whole county and he must come.
Not only that, Wang Ci also got Liu Jinshi to write an inscription for the reconstruction of Moli Xuan.
Even though Liu Dalin was still a bit dissatisfied with the Crossing Group, he still saw the various things that the Crossing Group had done in Lingao over the past year to suppress bandits, build roads, rescue people, and resettle the poor. Although he was closed
He couldn't leave the house, but his family members were always out looking for news.
He is a Jinshi in his hometown and is very famous in the county and even Qiongzhou Prefecture. He thinks that he must be the target of these thieves. So these days, he only stays at home and studies. Not only does he not go out, he doesn't even have guests.
Da Jian can only be seen by a few close relatives and friends who come to the house. He has arsenic and knives at his side and is always ready to commit suicide. One is to avoid being captured and humiliated - he made suggestions during the attack on the Kun thieves, and I heard that he killed Kun
There are many thieves, and there is no guarantee that they will not come to seek revenge. Secondly, they are also afraid that the thief Kun will force him to take a fake job. Then he can die to prove his innocence. When the thief Kun entered the city for the first time, the atmosphere in Liu Dalin's house was extremely tense.
, not only himself, but also his family members and servants had made preparations for the disaster.
Unexpectedly, the Kun thieves retreated after entering the city, only sending dozens of pirate heads to the county. In the next few months, the Kun thieves came into the city in groups except during the Chinese New Year.
Outside a circle, no large groups of people entered the city anymore. As for Liu Dalin's family, no one cared about it at all - the thief didn't seem to know that there was a person like him, Liu Dalin, in Lingao.
Liu Jinshi had imagined countless times how the thieves would rush into his mansion and force him with knives. But he would be unyielding and would either curse the thieves to death or take medicine to commit suicide... But all the scenes he imagined were all
It didn't happen, that is, no one came to seek revenge, and no one tried to coerce or induce him to take up a fake job. He felt relaxed and lonely - these thieves were really ignorant.
The family did not know Liu Dalin's thoughts, so they were relieved to see that the thieves did not come to harass him. When his family members told him about the outside news, although Liu Dalin never knew whether it was true or not, he was secretly surprised - this gang
What are the overseas Australians who claim to be descendants of the Song people planning to come to Gao?
The Australians are suppressing bandits, building roads, running workshops and building water conservancy in Lingao, and there is nothing that is not beneficial to the country and the people. They have traveled thousands of miles away from their motherland to come to this small county in the southern border of Ming Dynasty to do all this - there is no such thing these days
In terms of "Lei Feng spirit", Liu Dalin could not see any practical benefits that they could get from "learning from Lei Feng" in Lingao.
With Liu Dalin's political wisdom, he certainly understands that this is an attempt by the Australians to win people's hearts. But there seems to be no value in buying people's hearts in Lingao - this place is so remote and barren, even if the Australians can make the whole county become thieves, so what?
No matter how powerful they are, they can occupy the entire Hainan Island, but this is just a corner of the South China Sea.
When Wang Ci came to deliver the invitation, his family members urged Liu Dalin not to show his face and to keep a low profile. Although this was a good thing, once the army regained Lingao in the future, it would be difficult to see clearly. Liu Dalin didn't see it that way.
In his opinion, no matter what the Australians' plans are, it is a great good thing for the local government that they build the Confucian Temple, rebuild Moli Xuan, and fund the rebuilding of Moli Xuan Academy. As the only Jinshi in Lingao since ancient times, he can do this
Not attending the occasion would hurt the hearts of the scholars. Furthermore, I always hide at home and it is difficult to grasp the intentions of the Australians. It is better to be more generous and go out for a walk. Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Finally,
Since the Australians have not done anything to seek revenge or be forced to take a "fake job" for more than a year, they may not do it now - not to mention the Australians have never raised any flag or driven Wu Mingjin away -
This Lingao County is still the Lingao County of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Dalin's acceptance of the invitation and the inscription of the inscription aroused great repercussions among the scholars and gentry in Lingao. For a time, the Australians rebuilt Molixuan in the Xuewen Temple in Lingao County, which caused an uproar in the whole county.
Scholars who have been talking about their various behaviors have to admit that Australians are "educated by heart".
In order to reduce the resistance of local scholars and gentry, Xiong Buyou held a modern ribbon-cutting ceremony, but still deliberately reduced the show of strength of the travelers to a minimum. Only Xiong Buyou and a few people came to the scene, and they did not carry obvious weapons.
Everyone is in harmony.
The ceremony was a combination of ancient and modern styles. After the leaders of both parties made speeches, Wu Ya personally unveiled the stone tablet "The Story of the Reconstruction of Moli Pavilion in Chongzhen" written by Liu Dalin. After the red silk slipped down, Xiong Buyou and several people behind him unconsciously applauded.
Come on, the surrounding natives also applauded.
Wu Mingjin coolly cut the ribbon with a pair of silver scissors - this was the only part of the entire ceremony that made the scholars discuss it. Everyone thought it was too wasteful. As for the scissors made of more than 20 taels of silver, they were given to the ribbon-cutters.
Thank you.
After the ribbon cutting, everyone visited the newly renovated Moli Xuan. They were very curious about the newly added facilities and furniture. People who have dealt with the Chuan Chuan Group more know that the newly renovated study rooms here are actually Australian schools.
shape.
What makes the scholars jealous the most is that there is an extra library in Moli Xuan - it already contains hundreds of various well-printed books printed by the newly opened printing house of the Ministry of Light Industry. They choose from hundreds of schools of thought and classics and history collections.
It contains many representative classic works. It used the collated editions of most of the Zhonghua Book Company and the electronic editions of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan. The quality of the editions was top-notch in the Ming Dynasty. Scholars rushed to read it.
Looking at these books with extremely clear handwriting, white paper, and elegant binding, everyone couldn't help but marvel. During this period, a dispute broke out between the sentence-reading school and the non-sentence-reading school: the former believed that it was a good thing to read books with sentences in them, while the latter
I think this will damage the understanding of the original work.
But regardless of whether there is a sentence reading, Lingao has never had such a complete collection of books in history, whether public or private. This shocked the scholars greatly. Aren't Australians from a "barbarian country"? Why are their books
The printing can be so sophisticated. And it can be seen that a great deal of effort has been put into the proofreading of each book. This is definitely not something that a barbarian country can do. Is it possible that they are really the descendants of the Song people, Chinese orthodoxy. Many
The distinction between Yi and Xia in the minds of the scholars was somewhat shaken.
