Chapter 269: Weiguo University
Yingfang is now in his thirties, tall and thin. He is not much taller than others, but he has a stronger aura.
He was wearing a blue robe and a tall turban on his head. He had regular features and looked like an old man. He looked very ordinary on the street in front of the palace.
Be careful not to look too serious, as even when you are restrained, there will still be some sharpness in your eyes.
He was followed by more than a dozen people, including servants and students. Everyone knew that Mr. Ying was a very good person.
Ma Zhuo was a student of Mr. Ying. Although he was not his most outstanding student, he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was also outstanding and elegant. At first glance, he looked like a normal person on the street, not very rich, and there were many people like him.
Ma Zhuo was very generous. Although he came to take up the post with Lord Ying, he had no right to bully others by taking advantage of his power.
Wei Tong was a few years older than Ma Zhuo. His family was not well off, and he wore a half-worn blue robe.
Wei Tong was also very generous and asked Mr. Ying: "I want to do business, is it possible?"
Ying Fang nodded and said only one word seriously: "Okay." Anyway, Ying Fang was not familiar with the businessman, so it was not easy to say more.
Wei Tong understood what the adults meant. They didn't care about the business status or anything. If you want to do it, just do it. The adults have always been like this.
Wei Tong and Ma Zhuo's families were considered small and poor in the capital, and it was difficult for them to get by in the capital. Even if they were good at studying and could study in the Imperial Academy for a few years and were lucky enough to become students of Mr. Ying, it was still difficult for them to get by in the capital.
There are many opportunities in Duxia, but not many for them. Duxia is still very dangerous now and it is easy to be involved.
Therefore, the few of them who were willing followed Lord Ying to Weiguo, seeking an opportunity to show their talents and do something. They wanted to achieve success and fame. But first of all, they wanted to make some money so that everyone could live a better life.
Listen to what the girl said? Trust business. The most important thing about business is honesty. It can also benefit the people. That's enough.
It is said that Song Gongming, Marquis of Puning, was conserving water in Puchang County, so there was nothing wrong with doing business there.
Ma Zhuohe said, "I didn't expect that scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans could be interpreted this way."
Ying Fang said seriously: "It is so. So are all the other schools of thought."
Respecting Confucianism alone makes some Confucians hypocrites! They are arrogant and short-sighted!
Ying Fang said: "The world is in chaos. If Wei is brought under control ahead of time, the Great Qi can last at least another 200 years."
I don't know more. The girl's method is a little different. But no matter how you do it, you still need to be stable.
We should not worry about the chaos in Wei State. King Wei and Yuan Dingchen are both smart people. But if Wei State first puts an end to the chaos, it will probably take on the pressure of the world. Even if the emperor takes half of it, it will not be easy. Therefore, now is to help Wei State to pass this period smoothly and truly usher in a great order! There are too many things here, and Yuan Dingchen alone can't be busy.
Ying Fang did not think he had the ability to govern the country, and it was enough for him to assist Yuan Dingchen.
Moreover, it should be considered that the girl is not worried about lack of talent. There are many good horses, but few good horse trainers. As long as there is a good horse trainer who is willing to give opportunities, good horses will come from a thousand miles away. Although there will be mud and sand, Weiguo just needs to control it well.
Ying Fang stood on the street and learned about the situation in Wei State. He also happened to meet the girl. Now, it was time to go to the palace to pay a visit to King Wei.
Prince Wei's Mansion is busy right now.
Seeing that they were in a hurry, he went to the side hall to pay a visit to King Wei.
Yuan Dingchen, Eunuch Lu and others were all present and expressed their welcome to the Prime Minister.
One might think that they want more people to work for them. That's not wrong. At least it's better than suspicion and exclusion.
Although Prince Wei and Yuan Dingchen were smart people, it is not surprising what smart people do.
Just work, sit down seriously and keep steady.
The King of Wei was busy and had no time to beat around the bush, so he said directly, "I am planning to build an Imperial College, would Lord Ying be willing to take charge of it?"
Ying Fang was very surprised and asked, "What kind of Imperial College does the prince plan to build?"
The King of Wei responded, "It is expected that a total of 500 schools will be built in the twelve counties of Wei State. We will see how the private schools perform at that time."
Yingfang nodded. If there are more private schools, there will be fewer schools run by the Weiguo. Although it would be cheaper to study in a school, it is hard to say now. Five hundred schools require at least eight hundred teachers.
King Wei said coldly: "Each village is a primary school, mainly for enlightenment. Each county can set up a county school and increase the number of staff. To allow more people to study, this is considered a middle school. Wei State has set up an Imperial Academy, which teaches scholars, farmers, merchants, and all schools of thought. This is considered a university, and will be called a university hall in the future."
Ji Hao said: "Weiguo University?"
Prince Wei nodded and said: "It will be called the Imperial Academy for the time being. It will take about ten years, and when it is ready, it will be renamed the University." He looked at Ying Fang.
You should be more serious! Although the prince is young, his eyes seem to see through everything. The prince's ambition is not for himself.
King Wei said: "The Imperial Academy will no longer teach elementary education, and will not accept students under the age of fourteen. As long as we can teach, we will prepare to teach. It is not possible for the time being, so we must prepare and reserve talents. We must also train qualified teachers for the schools in each village. Some old scholars and students will not be taught if they cannot teach. Mathematics is also a must for children to learn."
Yingfang nodded, everything was very clear.
Ding Mengxiang sat quietly on the side. He could work in the Imperial College, but he was not qualified to be in charge of the entire Imperial College. He would work for a few years first, and then do as much as he could. Mr. Ying was in his thirties, and it was estimated that he would not need to take over for another thirty years.
Ding Mengxiang thought that there was no end to the tasks of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Teaching people how to read, how to farm, how to be a craftsman... There were too many things to do and a lot of talent was needed. What was not needed was jealousy of talent.
King Wei and Ying Fang talked for more than an hour.
Ying Fang did not mention the fatigue from the journey, nor did he wear official uniform. The prince and Yuan Dingchen were both dressed casually, which was probably the custom of the Wei State.
We should be careful not to care too much about clothes, because there are too many well-dressed people and beasts in human clothing.
Eunuch Lu came over and asked, "The Yun family is hosting a banquet, do you want to go together?"
Ying Fang thought, is there still such a custom in Weiguo? He said honestly, "I have not prepared any gifts."
Eunuch Lu was like an old immortal, and said with a smile: "The Yun family does not accept gifts."
You should be careful, because in the whole Wei State, Eunuch Lu is probably the most strict with rules, but he is also very romantic, which is very interesting.
Yuan Dingchen smiled and said, "I have heard that Yingxiang is good at both calligraphy and painting, especially cursive script."
Ying Fang responded that he was not worthy of the gift, but he was not too polite. He borrowed the brush and ink and wrote a piece of calligraphy immediately, and the gift was accepted.
Yuan Dingchen laughed loudly, and everyone walked towards the Yun family.
There are Tiger Guards around to protect him.
We should be careful not to bring students with us and blend into Weiguo Middle School.
After exiting the palace gate, there was a buffet.
The people who were eating the buffet were very happy for the prince! Many people shouted "Long live the prince!" Some even kowtowed.
It should be noted that although the prince was raised by the empress dowager in a cold and aloof way, the young man probably liked it this way. Not as refined as before, but with a little more fireworks.
Near the Yun family's gate, there were still many people blocking the way, but they were dispersed by the Tiger Guards.
