Chapter 271 Li Chunfeng Visits
Lin Xuan finished his visit to the academy with a smile on his face.
I don't know if people will think of him for the first time when they mention this academy after thousands of years.
Xu Guangfu was relieved to see Lin Xuan smiling.
"Master Hou, the academy hasn't been named yet." Xu Guangfu smiled.
My own college must have a cool name, but Lin Xuan knows that he is a waste of names, so he still needs to go back and think about the name.
"I know about this matter, and I will tell you when I think it over," Lin Xuan said.
After visiting the college, Lin Xuan asked, "By the way, can the hospital be built before winter?"
Cement is not good at this. The weather is too cold to work at all.
Xu Guangfu nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, there will be no problem before winter."
Lin Xuan praised Xu Guangfu and sent him to the hospital.
After thinking about it, Lin Xuan didn't go home, but went directly to the Imperial College.
After being notified, I met Kong Yingda.
"I've met Dr. Kong!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Kong Yingda was a little surprised by Lin Xuan's arrival, but still warmly greeted Lin Xuan to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea.
Kong Yingda picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and exclaimed: "The new way of drinking tea invented by Lord Hou is really good. The old man only got some of it through the help of the prince."
Lin Xuan was a little speechless. If you want tea, just say it directly, as for beating around the bush.
"I always thought that a great Confucian like Dr. Kong would like to make tea. I didn't expect Dr. Kong to like it too. Later, I will ask someone to bring some tea to Dr. Kong." Lin Xuan laughed.
A smile appeared on Kong Yingda's face, and said, "Then thank you, Lord Hou!"
According to his temperament, it is somewhat embarrassing to beg for tea in disguise like this.
It's just that this kind of tea is the only one that can't be bought outside, so he can only be cheeky.
"Dr. Kong, you're welcome. The dictionary went on sale a few days ago, and the response has been very good. These are all thanks to Dr. Kong, and some tea leaves are nothing." Lin Xuan said.
Kong Yingda shook his head and said: "This is not the work of the old man alone. The most important thing is the pinyin and punctuation marks invented by Lord Hou. There are many people who can do what the old man does, but only Lord Hou can invent pinyin and punctuation marks." come out."
"Hehe, Dr. Kong is absurd."
Lin Xuan blushed a little. If Kong Yingda knew, he plagiarized all of this. I don't know what expression Kong Yingda would have if he knew.
Kong Yingda thought that Lin Xuan was being modest, and in her heart, Lin Xuan's character improved a lot.
"Master Hou, the old man and some of you are now adding punctuation marks to other books, and many books have been improved again." Kong Yingda told Lin Xuan about the progress.
Regardless of Kong Yingda's selfless dedication or chasing fame and fortune, but he has indeed done practical things, Lin Xuan still admires him very much.
Kong Yingda should be very happy when he figured out movable type printing.
But now that the horoscope has not been written yet, Lin Xuan doesn't intend to say it.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Xuan explained the purpose of coming, "Dr. Kong, I am here this time to ask you for help."
"Master Hou just say what you need, as long as the old man can help, I will definitely do my best." Kong Yingda said.
As the saying goes, he is short of manpower, and Lin Xuan just promised to send him tea, and he couldn't refuse no matter what the reason.
"I have built a new college and I need some gentlemen. I wonder if Dr. Kong can help?" Lin Xuan said.
Kong Yingda looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, and said, "Why did Lord Hou suddenly want to build a college? If someone in the family needs to study, you can come to the Imperial College directly. This old man can still help."
He thought that Lin Xuan was going to build a school for people in the family to study.
How can a family school compare to Guozijian.
Although Guozijian is very difficult to get into, even the Duke's Mansion doesn't have many places a year, but it doesn't matter to him.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Dr. Kong, although the Guozijian is good, can ordinary people get in? Although there are many academies in the world, there is no academies that ordinary people can get into. I built an academy , I want to give the common people of the world a chance, now I need some gentlemen."
There are many academies in Datang, and ordinary people will not be restricted from entering.
But pens, inks, papers and inkstones, together with repairs, need to spend a lot of money, and the deep-rooted thinking of small farmers, they will not send their children to study at all.
At this time, there is no saying that knowledge can change destiny.
Although the imperial examinations have been reformed now, the common people pay the most attention to interests, and they have no long-term vision. Only when they see the benefits, will some people be willing to take a chance.
Lin Xuan built the academy, although part of it was to increase the influence of the Lin family.
Another idea is to prepare to train some talents, pass the imperial examination, enter the court as an official, and let the people all over the world see the benefits of studying.
Kong Yingda praised: "Master Hou has great ambitions, which is admirable!"
Teaching without discrimination was proposed by his family's ancestors. Of course, he has no idea of preventing ordinary people from studying.
"Dr. Kong is absurd, I don't know the question of Mr. Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
Kong Yingda asked, "I don't know how many people the Lord Hou needs?"
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "All kinds of gentlemen need some, and about 30 people are needed in the early stage."
The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were relatively complicated, not only the collection of classics and history, poems and songs, but also arithmetic.It is not as absolute as the Ming Dynasty, only the scriptures are tested.
Although Lin Xuan felt that poetry and poetry had little to do with being an official, but if people wanted to take the exam, his college would definitely teach it.
Kong Yingda frowned when she heard that Lin Xuan wanted so many people.
Seeing Kong Yingda's expression, Lin Xuan quickly said, "Dr. Kong, don't worry, the treatment I give them must be higher than that of the Imperial College."
If a private school poachs a teacher from a public school, it must increase the salary, of course Lin Xuan understands this.
Kong Yingda shook his head and said: "Master Hou misunderstood, but now some famous Confucian scholars are compiling books with me, and there is really no manpower for Lord Hou."
"Dr. Kong, my college was looking for illiterate children at the beginning. We don't need great Confucians, we just need some literate gentlemen." Lin Xuan said.
To be honest, he really doesn't want those great scholars now.
He just needs some people to teach people to read and write now.
As for the gentleman of Jiaojing Shiziji, just wait until next year to find it slowly, and there is no rush for the time being.
Kong Yingda froze for a moment, and said, "This is no problem."
It is not difficult to find literate people, and it can solve their livelihood problems.
Lin Xuan gratefully said: "Thank you, Dr. Kong."
……
Back home, Lin Xuan was told that Li Chunfeng had come and was now in the living room.
After Lin Xuan heard the news, he hurried to the hall.
Seeing Lin Xuan approaching, Lin Dongyang said quickly, "Xuan'er, Lord Li has been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Chunfeng stood up, bowed his hands, and said with a smile, "I've seen Lord Hou!"
Lin Xuan hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Master Li, you are welcome, sit down quickly!"
Lin Dongyang smiled and said: "Master Li, if you talk, the old man will not bother you."
"Please trouble Mr. Lin!" Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
Lin Dongyang said several times that it was no trouble, and left the hall.
After Lin Dongyang left, Lin Xuan couldn't wait to ask: "Master Li, did you get some lead?"
Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "I only got 120 catties after visiting many Taoist temples. I don't know if it's enough."
He really couldn't figure out why Lin Xuan was so excited about the use of lead besides alchemy.
