Chapter 376 Excited
Jufulou canceled all reservations for this banquet today, and even cleared out the rarely used backyard lobby just for today's events.
"Is everyone here?"
Zheng Li lowered his body and said to Ji Song, who was sitting on the stone bench: "Basically everyone is here. Those who didn't come probably won't come either."
Ji Song thought the same thing. In that case, there would be no delay.
"Let's go. Whether the academy can be completed as soon as possible depends on today." Ji Song rubbed his hands, like a 'butcher' sharpening his knife.
The people in the lobby are like a group of 'lambs' waiting to be slaughtered! When Ji Song appeared in the lobby, everyone looked at him.
Cheng Yaojin, who was worried about the world being in chaos, was even louder.
"Boy Ji, I heard that you want to build an academy as big as a city? What? Is it because you don't have enough money, or do you want us to lend you some?"
"Yes, if Marquis Hao is short of money, just let him know. We can still get it with the money of [-] yuan."
"That's right, just because of the good relationship I have had over the years, I don't dare to say anything else. I promise there will be no interest! Haha!"
As soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, others began to boo.
Ji Song didn't care and said with a smile: "Then Song, I'll thank you all first, but..."
After saying this, he paused deliberately and saw that everyone was paying attention to him, and then said: "But there is no need to borrow money. I, Ji Song, have been short of everything since I was born, but I am not short of money, so , I appreciate everyone’s kindness.”
"Look, this kid is definitely holding back his bad intentions!"
Li Jing whispered to Du Ruhui beside him.
Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Everyone has witnessed Hao Jiehou's ability to make money. Even if he has some intentions, I still believe in his character."
Li Jing choked, turned his head, and listened carefully! Ji Song didn't know that everyone was talking about him, so he continued: "Everyone must be curious about why I invited you here today!"
Everyone's expressions changed, knowing that the main event was about to begin, and they all sat up straight.
Ji Song didn't take it for granted and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal."
"You must have heard about it during this time. Yes, I, Ji Song, want to build the largest academy in the Tang Dynasty."
Looking at the solemn expressions of everyone, he continued: "But I, Ji Song, have a habit of not swallowing good things for myself, so I thought of you all."
"What the hell is this kid trying to do?"
Pingyang said impatiently.
She didn't have much patience to begin with, and Ji Song kept telling her off. If there weren't so many people here, she would have gone up and grabbed his ears.
Chai Shao sat aside and smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. This kid is very strict with his words. Even now I don't know what kind of medicine this kid bought in his gourd."
At this moment, everyone saw four beautiful maids carrying a huge screen to the center.
The screen was covered with red satin, which looked extremely mysterious.
Xue Wanche shouted loudly: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. If I don't have anything else, I just want to use my strength to my brother's advantage. Just say it."
Ji Song smiled and nodded when he heard this, motioning for him to sit down first.
Then he walked to the screen and stood still, saying, "Are you all curious about what I, Ji Song, am going to do this time? Do I have another good project to make a lot of money?"
Seeing the people who were looking forward to it, Ji Song said directly: "This opportunity is great, but whether you can see the opportunity depends on your vision."
"Wow!"
Ji Song didn't say anything more, but directly lifted the red satin on the screen.
"Is this... a fairyland?" Du Ruhui stood up suddenly, looking at the screen with eyes full of obsession.
Others were not faring well. Even Li Jing, a man with a firm mind, was briefly distracted when he saw the picture on the screen.
The peaks reaching into the sky, the mountains in the distance, and the magnificent scenery of the world nearby.
"Is this Taibai Mountain?"
Seeing the white snow on the top of the mountain, someone immediately recognized where this place was.
The most eye-catching thing in the painting is the dreamlike city at the foot of the mountain.
The square city is perfectly integrated with the distant mountains and rivers. The trees and flowers in the city are dotted among them, and lifelike figures are interspersed among them.
If you look carefully, you can still see the people in the painting, or is it a person holding a book who seems to be thinking about something? Some were in small groups, arguing with each other; some were lecturers giving lectures to students in the open air; some were dejected, carrying their luggage and walking out of the city, turning back three times.
His expression was as if he had lost his soul.
There are also people riding tall horses and walking out in high spirits, like newborn calves looking up to the future after completing their studies.
All kinds of things in the world are lifelike!
But what makes people curious is that there is a pure white building in the center of this city.
It was so tall, all made of stones, with a few words written on it - library.
There is no strict inner square like Chang'an, and there is no serious feeling. It is like a Huayuan Clan city.
This made everyone feel a sense of solemnity that they were accustomed to in Chang'an City. Compared with this city, it was a great shock! "Is this the academy you want to build?"
Li Gang stood up excitedly and said in a trembling voice.
Ji quickly winked, and someone immediately helped Li Gang.
"Yes, this is the academy that my disciples want to build. It will be the holy land of culture in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and it will also be the cradle of our nation in the future."
Ji Song has no modesty. Such an academy is a feat. For those who have never seen the wonderful future, it is almost like a dream.
Li Gang burst into tears with excitement. For him, fame and wealth are fleeting. If he could teach in such an academy during his lifetime, he would die now without hesitation.
No one knows the significance of this academy better than him. This will be the greatest moment in the history of civilization.
"Build, must build!"
Li Gang shook off the maid's support, strode to the screen, and touched the picture inch by inch, as if he was inside it.
"Yes, this academy must be built. No matter what, I will be counted as one!" Kong Yingda also stood up and said loudly.
He also came to the screen, his eyes blurred.
Pei Ji was filled with emotion. He finally understood. Just because he understood, he admired Ji Song's methods even more.
A painting, or a painting that was still in imagination, encompassed everyone, and even I almost couldn't control it.
He put up his crutches, and with the support of his son, he came to the scene. He first looked at the screen carefully, and finally settled on the small building in the city.
"Such a grand scene, even I am amazed, lawyer?"
Lawyer Pei was stunned and said quickly: "My son is here!"
Pei Ji said in an unquestionable tone: "You go home tomorrow, sell all those useless things, and then give them to the good prince."
Then, regardless of his son's stunned look, he smiled and said to Ji Song: "I wonder if Marquis Hao could leave a few small buildings like this for my Pei family in the completed academy?"
