Chapter 374 Schedule Li Gang didn't take it seriously at first, but it wasn't until he read it three times that he said solemnly: "Then building an academy is a means to achieve your goal?"
"Not bad!"
Ji Song nodded. He knew that this matter could not be hidden from the teacher, not to mention that he still needed to rely on the teacher's connections to do something.
After the academy is built, there must be teachers, right? Li Gang is a great scholar, but he still doesn’t have many friends?Anyway, he has long been eyeing the teacher's connections.
After a long silence, Li Gang sighed.
"You! Over the years, others have thought that you have a good temper, have made great achievements, and take care of the housework. You actually have no enemies."
"It wasn't until a few days ago that you nearly threw Dugu Mou to death. This scared some people and made them even more scared. I don't know where you got such resentment from."
Ji Song's face turned solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Teacher, you also know that disciples have an indifferent attitude towards many things, but disciples also have a bottom line."
"My mother-in-law used to be my disciple's nixin, but now she's married, and so is You Ning!"
"I don't care about the rest, but if anyone dares to touch them, my disciple will put him in a dilemma of life and death!"
After a while, he said: "This disciple doesn't care about sending people to steal iron-making technology, but last time he used You Ning as a test, this won't work!"
Li Gang looked at Ji Song and sighed repeatedly, thinking: After all, he has grown up and has his own opinions! The two of them didn't talk much about this topic. After sitting for a while, Li Gang felt a little tired and went back.
After seeing off the teacher, before he could rest for a while, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Pingyang, Chai Shao and others came to visit one after another.
Ji Song knew what they wanted to say, but he didn't want to explain it now. After a little prevarication, he quickly sent them away.
"call"
He breathed a sigh of relief and saw Zheng Li hurriedly running over. He sighed and said angrily: "Who is here again this time? Just say that I am no longer here and tell you to go ahead and thank guests behind closed doors during this time!"
Zheng Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's someone from the palace who sent someone to bring this, and then left."
After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ji Song.
Ji Song was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something and quickly took it.
After reading it, Ji Song's face was obviously bitter.
"Master Hou?"
Zheng Li shouted softly.
Ji Song folded the letter and then said to Zheng Li: "Yes, this land matter is not settled. Although His Majesty agreed, I need to handle everything."
Ji Song could also guess some of Li Shimin's thoughts. It was just that he didn't want to get too involved in this matter at this time, at least on the surface.
But he still has some conscience. The letter said that if he needs anyone or any help, he can coordinate it.
"Will the academy be built yet?"
Zheng Li looked bitter, but he almost screamed in his heart.
Okay, if His Majesty doesn't give it, he already doesn't want to build any academy. According to my prince's construction method, this will completely empty out the family property!
They didn't dare to persuade, and they knew that they couldn't be persuaded. Now His Majesty won't give the land directly. Now, how can we build without land? Ji Song glanced sideways at Zheng Li.
"Build! Don't build if there is no land? What's the point of this?"
He directly spread out the map around Chang'an, lay down on it and looked at it carefully.
Originally, according to his idea, it would be best to allocate a piece of land on the outskirts of Chang'an. This would be convenient for everything and many things could be collected nearby in Chang'an.
But the emperor was afraid that if he got involved too much, he would irritate some people's nerves and was unwilling to participate. Even the land was left to his own devices.
He patrolled the map for a long time, and finally looked at a place near the Qinling Mountains. "Snapped!"
He clapped his big hand, pointed at a place, and said loudly: "This is it."
Zheng Li was a little confused. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly stepped forward. When he saw where his Marquis was pointing, he couldn't wrap his head around it.
"Master Hou, this...is this Mount Taibai?"
Ji Song nodded with satisfaction. Taibai Mountain, also called Taiyi Mountain, is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains and south of Chang'an City. It is only a few dozen miles away.
This mountain is the highest mountain in the eastern part of the Chinese mainland, with an altitude of more than [-]. It is the highest peak in the Qinling Mountains and the highest barrier on the north-south dividing line.
Both the geographical location and the scenery are second to none, and the Seven Scenic Spots of Taibai are unique in the world.
Ji Song felt excited when he thought about building an academy here. He had already thought of the name of the academy. Since it was built at the foot of Taibai Mountain, it would be called Taibai Academy.
"Okay, this matter is settled. You go and buy the best place at the foot of Taibai Mountain."
"Remember, no matter how much it costs, as long as you are willing to sell it, you will find a way to get it."
After saying that, he ignored Zheng Li's dazed look and started planning excitedly.
The previous drawing was made on flat ground. Now that Taibai Mountain has been determined, many places on it are already out of place.
Change, must change! For the next few days, Ji Song stayed at home and locked himself in his study. Even You Ning couldn't go in, and he didn't even see anyone visiting him.
Three days later, when Ji Song came out of the study with a big smile, he was dragged over by Ji's mother.
In the backyard pavilion, Mother Ji looked at the drawings drawn by her son, and then looked at her son who was still in an excited state.
Holding his forehead, he said: "Is this the result of your sleepless nights and forgetting to eat and drink these past few days?"
Then he pointed at the drawing and frowned: "Are you sure you are drawing an academy and not a fairyland?"
You Ning covered his mouth and chuckled.
When she first saw this drawing, she was also dizzy! When she thought about it, there was no academy being built here, and the palace was nothing more than that! Ji Song drew a rendering, which showed a peak reaching into the sky. The top of the mountain was covered with snow, but the mountainside was lined with green trees.
A magnificent city stood at the foot of the mountain. Its square appearance was not much different from the current city.
But that building with two or three floors that looks like stone, and the library that can be easily identified as the center at a glance, are you sure it can be built?
To take a step back, even if it can be built, how much are you prepared to spend on such an academy? Ji Song thought there was something wrong, but it turned out that he was worried about cost and time, and he was relieved.
He said nonchalantly: "Just tell me whether it looks good or not!"
Mother Ji nodded, touched the small building half hidden in the shade of the trees on the drawing, and the flowers and plants around the small building, and said with emotion: "Such a fairyland is a place I can't even dream of. If it were real, Ah Why wouldn’t mother want to!”
"Snapped!"
Ji Song snapped his fingers and said confidently: "Since Aniang said so, if my son can't do it again, it will be his fault."
Then he took the drawing and said with a smile: "Just wait with peace of mind. My son promises that you will live in a place like this in the near future."
After saying that, he didn't care about the two people who were stunned, turned around and went out.
"Auntie, do you think my husband can do it?" You Ning said blankly.
Mother Ji was stunned, thinking that her son had never let her down, especially with his look just now. She shook her head and said uncertainly: "Maybe it can work?"
