Chapter 429 Enrollment is open! In March of the sixth year of Zhenguan, it was the time when spring was in full bloom. It was still a bit chilly at first, but after a piece of news came out, it instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an.
Taibai Academy is recruiting students! It was this news that made the people talk a lot. Logically speaking, what does the enrollment of an academy have to do with them?Not so enthusiastic, right?
If you ask someone this question, the people of Chang'an will definitely ask: Are you from outside?
The banquet in Chang'an that gathered the entire upper class is still talked about now, especially the rendering of the academy, which has now become a symbol, a symbol of the top academy in the Tang Dynasty.
After two years, this academy, which attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an, finally started enrolling students.
The person who built this academy was the famous Hou Jisong, who was famous all over the world. After a year of silence, he reappeared in people's sight in a striking figure.
"How are you getting ready?"
Ji Song, who has been living in Zhuangzi, rarely appears in Chang'an City during this period. As a maniac who loves girls, of course he must have two children who are like porcelain dolls.
The child, who is almost one year old, is very active at this time. There is a priceless Persian carpet laid in an open space in the backyard, but its value is for the two children to crawl around on it.
"We are almost ready. The time is set in three days. Other places have spread the word as early as March. As for how many people can come, I don't know."
Zheng Li is almost fifty. In this era when the average life expectancy is more than 30 years old, he is considered an old man.
Perhaps it was due to years of pampering and pampering, but the years did not leave many traces on his face, and he looked to be only about forty.
In order to let more people know about the academy's enrollment, Ji Song sent people to spread the news to various places as early as March. Except for some really remote areas, basically all the elite areas of the Tang Dynasty knew the news.
If not, all the students recruited by then will be students from Chang'an and Guanzhong, which is inconsistent with Ji Song's original intention.
The people in Chang'an and Guanzhong only learned of the news in recent days.
"As long as the news is delivered, whether they can come or not depends on their luck. Sometimes luck and courage are also part of strength. The opportunity has been delivered to them. As for whether they can seize it, it is not what I should consider. Something happened."
Zheng Li didn't take it seriously. He was the executor of the whole incident. Of course he knew why. And the Marquis spent a lot of money and materials, so of course it couldn't be just a small fuss.
"careful!"
Ji Song, who had been keeping his eyes on the two children, immediately noticed that the little monkey was about to crawl out of the carpet. He appeared in front of him in an instant and picked him up.
He slapped the little thing on the butt angrily and scolded with a smile: "I thought you were a quiet person, but I didn't expect you to be much more naughty than my sister."
The little guy was not afraid of his father at all, and immediately showed his teeth and claws in Ji Song's face. Ji Song could only try his best to avoid it!
Zheng Li smiled and said nothing. He didn't know how many times he had seen this scene, but he just couldn't get enough of it.
He was full of joy in his heart. The young master was very smart. Although he was still young, he was active and energetic, and his body and bones were very strong. He rarely got sick during this period.
The eldest lady is also very nice, but a little quiet!
Ji Song teased the children for a long time, and when he saw that they were sleepy, he asked someone to take them down to rest! "I'm going to the palace tomorrow to celebrate my queen's birthday. You can decide on the gift or something. It doesn't have to be too expensive, as long as it's what you want!" Ji Song casually ordered.
Zheng Li hesitated and asked: "Wouldn't this be too casual? Our family is not lacking in these. Isn't it a little bit?"
Ji Song rolled his eyes. Although Zheng Li didn't finish speaking, how could he not know what he was thinking? Wasn't he just worried about losing face? "Okay, you're so generous. How many times has she tricked me over the years? Besides, I don't care about this, just do as I say!" Ji Song said angrily. "Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Since Mr. Hou said it’s okay, let’s do it!
Ji Song got really annoyed when he thought about this. He was obviously not even forty yet, so he was celebrating his birthday. It was obvious that he was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking, and was just here for him.
Otherwise, today's queen only invites a few people for her birthday, which is almost like a family banquet. This is such a fool!
After Taibai Academy invested a lot of money last year, it accelerated its pace.
Originally, according to Ji Song's wish, as long as the teaching, school buildings, and landscape were completed, enrollment could begin.
But after Ji Song visited once, he found that the area around the academy was still desolate, and there was still a lot of funds left.
Yes, keep building!
So they built all the surrounding roads and the roads up the mountain, and built hundreds of small buildings on the mountainside. Before these were completed, they were booked by nobles who heard about it.
A small building that cost five hundred guan was finally sold for an average price of [-] guan due to the rush of many people. It was simply crazy.
As a result, the originally depleted funds suddenly became abundant again.
It was not until last month that the first phase of the project was completely completed, and now only enrollment remains.
But Ji Song was called to Chang'an because the queen wanted to see her two children.
Ever since Li Chengqian went back last time and boasted about how cute the two children were, Li Shimin, who was jealous, would ask Ji Song to bring the children into the palace to see them every now and then.
Originally, he wanted to go alone, but after all, Haorian County was not that close, and he would have to stay overnight there, which was not good for safety, so he did not insist on it after everyone persuaded him.
This time, Ji Song was asked to bring the child to have a look on the grounds that the queen was celebrating her birthday, and to discuss enrollment matters.
In the past, the children were too young and couldn't stand the traveling back and forth, so they didn't go, but now they can't refuse.
It's true to look after children, but 'discussing' enrollment matters is the emperor's real purpose.
No one believed that Ji Song could build this academy before, but now no one doubts it, because Ji Song slapped everyone in the face with the facts.
This academy has not done much yet, and I have made a lot of money by buying a house.
If the city at the foot of the mountain was built, it wouldn't be worth the money! So, as a rich and hungry emperor, he was jealous and wanted to get involved.
Although he had participated in some before, it was only a small one after all, and his share was not large. This made him, who was extremely possessive, instantly unbalanced.
He had asked other people about this matter, no matter what they thought, but as soon as they heard that it was the emperor's intention, everyone immediately stopped talking. Some even asked Ji Song if he could give his share to the emperor. Being filial?
Anyway, that person was kicked out by the big guy. He is just like rat shit in a rice vat. He is a scourge among the nobles and will be dealt with sooner or later! Thanks from posthumous hooligan
