Chapter 201 School
His Majesty Li Er stood in front of Fang Jun with his hands behind his back. He looked up and down with a smile and said teasingly: "Excuse me! Such an honorable official who is loyal to the country and does not care about his image and the work of the people is really a noble official of our Tang Dynasty." A treasure of integrity, selflessness and high morals, he is a model for thousands of officials. I should call on officials all over the world to learn from Fang Shilang’s great sentiments of being down-to-earth and low-key..."
Fang Jun was very happy as mentioned before, but when it came to the phrase "integrity, selflessness and high morals", even though Fang Jun had already practiced to the point where he could file his face, he couldn't help but blush...
I made a haha and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. In fact... the minister is not as perfect as your Majesty said, haha, that... there are still some minor problems..."
His Majesty Li Er laughed: "You are quite self-aware!"
Princess Gaoyang next to her gave Fang Jun a big roll of her eyes, making a vomiting expression on her pretty face, disdainful of Fang Jun's shamelessness.
Fang Junxin said, why did this girl come with you?
Seeing Li Junxian behind him, he quickly said hello.
At this moment, from behind the river embankment not far away, a pretty little maid in a pink skirt and green blouse ran over. She shouted crisply from a distance: "Erlang - it's time for class!"
His Majesty Li Er asked curiously: "You still go to class? Well, it is always good to make progress and study more. Yes! Although you are a bit older, you can still achieve something as long as you work hard. I look at your poems , although there is a sense of naturalness, but the words are too plain, and they are not as good as those splendid and colorful articles, so we have to work harder!”
"Well..." Fang Jun smiled awkwardly, carefully looked at His Majesty Li Er's side face, and said slowly: "Actually... I went to teach the children..."
Princess Gaoyang exclaimed: "Are you a sir?"
Fang Jun rolled his eyes: "Fang is only seven and a half buckets tall. Is it weird to be an enlightened gentleman?"
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Nonsense! You mislead your disciples just because you have some literary talents. Isn't that what a gentleman does? It's simply outrageous!"
Fang Jun, this is such a grievance. You are so shameless. You don’t ask anything and just slap a big label on me indiscriminately...
At that moment, he scratched his head and said: "But Weichen thinks the teaching is pretty good!"
His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily: "Did you teach well? Come on, let me recite the Analects of Confucius to someone. If you recite it, someone will recognize you as a teacher!"
Fang Jun suddenly got stuck.
"The Analects of Confucius"...except for a few sentences about learning and practicing, "three people walking together", I don't know the rest...
Originally, Fang Yiai basically didn't read, and even though Fang Jun graduated from college, where did he learn this?
Fang Jun was dissatisfied: "Aren't you being difficult...Besides, Wei Chen doesn't teach students to read these things."
Princess Gaoyang said with disdain: "Just say it won't happen..."
Fang Jun glared at her, "Don't make trouble, you stinky girl!"
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Okay, okay! I asked you to recite the Analects of Confucius again, and you actually said that someone is difficult... Then tell me, what do you teach students?"
Fang Jun rolled his eyes and suggested: "How about...Weichen will go to teach the students later, and you can watch?"
His Majesty Li Er said cheerfully: "Sure! Let me go and see if you, a talented man like you, are teaching and educating people, or are you misleading people! If you don't teach well, don't blame me for punishing you!"
Fang Jun said to the little maid: "Qiao'er, please bring me a set of clean clothes first and send them to the school. I will be there soon."
"Oh!"
Qiao'er didn't recognize this handsome and good-looking man, so she agreed, turned around and ran away happily.
The group of people walked towards the school in Zhuangzi.
************
The Fang Family Farm was originally small, but since it received thousands of disaster victims, it had to expand rapidly. Its current size is almost four to five times its previous size.
Along a large piece of flat land created by mining, red brick houses are neatly arranged. Although these houses are not large in size, they are distinguished by their unified planning, cleanliness and impressive appearance.
Most of the men went to the docks and river banks, and those who stayed were the women and the elderly at home, who went in and out to clean up the house. Although their faces were full of fatigue, most of them had bright smiles...
His Majesty Li Er exclaimed: "What materials were used for this house, and how could it be built so quickly?"
It has only been a few days since the spring thaw?
The Fang family explained: "The clay dug out on the spot is mixed with cinders and burned in a kiln. This kind of red brick is not as strong as the blue brick. It may not be possible to build a city wall with it, but it is more than enough to build a house. Since the beginning of spring, Seven new buildings were built in Zhuangzi The brick kiln is burning day and night, producing a lot of output, but until now, about 20% of the victims have no place to stay. But in half a month, everyone will be allocated a house that is enough to live in. "
When firing this kind of bricks, we don’t focus on quality, only quantity, so the output is very large.
His Majesty Li Er nodded, which was a silent compliment.
When they arrived at the school, His Majesty Li Er, Princess Gaoyang, and even Li Junxian, who had always been cold-faced and cool, were all dumbfounded.
Princess Gao Yang couldn't believe her eyes. She looked at the row of tall and spacious buildings in front of her, with windows all equipped with flat and smooth glass, and asked, "This is...a school?"
The Fang family straightened their backs and said proudly: "I have promised everyone here that the tallest, most spacious, and brightest house in Fangjiawan will always be a school!"
His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the school with his hands behind his hands, looking at everything around him, his heartbeat rising and falling.
The tall houses were built high on the hillside, so there was no risk of being flooded. The walls were probably made of red bricks and a new type of cement, making them look solid and durable. The roof is not covered with tiles, but has an almost flat top. Boiling water is slightly located at the middle ridge, so that rainwater can flow down and will not stay on the roof and cause water seepage.
The most eye-catching thing is the flat and smooth glass, so luxurious!
Until now, workshops have still not mastered the technology of flat glass, and most of the glass they produce is defective. The occasional finished product is sold at sky-high prices by outside merchants.
The glass on this row of windows probably cost no less than a thousand dollars!
Princess Gaoyang was a little envious. In the winter, she wanted to replace the palace where she lived with glass, but after repeated calculations, she couldn't afford it...
And now, Fang Jun actually installed all the best glass in this school, what a waste of natural resources!
He pouted and said unhappily: "Isn't this too wasteful?"
Fang Jun led them to an office room next to the school and said: "No matter how hard it is, we can't suffer the students, and no matter how poor we are, we can't afford education!"
His Majesty Li Er praised: "Well said! As long as you can maintain your intention, I dare to say that in twenty years' time, there will be students from here in the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Fang Jun paused for a moment, stood up, turned around, faced His Majesty Li Er, and smiled with his white teeth: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. What Wei Chen has in mind is that within ten years, my Fang Jun will The students of Jiawan Academy became the standard for all officials in the Tang Dynasty! ”
"Dream on you!"
Princess Gaoyang thinks that Fang Jun is crazy now. What nonsense are you talking about?
Fang Jun laughed: "Your Highness, please wait and see!"
With that said, he went into a room to change clothes.
His Majesty Li Er silently looked at the brightly lit school in front of him. For some reason, he felt a sense of fear in his heart at what Fang Jun had just said.
Yes, it's fear.
Isn't it funny that His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would be frightened by just one word?
not at all!
Because from Fang Jun, His Majesty Li Er saw a change, a change that was absolutely different from his previous experience...
The docks, waterwheels, schools...all are different from what they have seen before.
People's fear of the unknown is natural.
His Majesty Li Er didn't know whether the changes brought by Fang Jun were good or bad for the Tang Dynasty, so he was afraid.
He was even thinking: Should I chop this stick with a knife?
But he gave up this ridiculous idea in an instant.
Because on the faces of everyone here, he could see the yearning for a better life and the longing for a better tomorrow.
Maybe you can take a look and see what this change is like?
Just when he was a little distracted, Fang Jun changed into a long robe and came out. He raised a book under his arm to His Majesty Li Er, with a strange smile on his dark face: "Later, Wei Chen has a gift." Presented to Your Majesty. This is a huge gift. Your Majesty, perhaps you should consider now whether to replace Wei Chen, a marquis, with a duke..."
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Hurry up and teach your class! You are full of nonsense..."
Fang Jun laughed: "Wei Chen can guarantee that even if your Majesty has to exchange a city for this gift, it will still be worth it!"
After saying that, he pushed open the door of the school.
The moment he opened the door, His Majesty Li Er saw all the students in the school standing up and shouting in unison at the top of their lungs: "Hello, teacher——"
