Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1865
Billiards and bowling became popular in Chang'an in a very short period of time, especially billiards, because they are easy to make and do not take up space, and are even more famous.

Of course, it's more important because both games are fun.

Those who have the advantage of money renovate the billiard room or even the bowling alley in their own homes, so that they can play at any time, and they can also entertain guests.

Not only rich and powerful people install and transform billiards at home, but many places outside have also begun to install billiards.

The ones walking in the front are the various brothels in Chang'an City. They are the most sensitive. Seeing that the second generation of Xun in Chang'an City like billiards, they naturally refused to let go of such a good opportunity to attract customers.

The major brothels not only have billiards installed, but even many brothel girls practice playing billiards, which is what they like.

In later generations, billiards may not be in the hall of elegance, but in this era of lack of entertainment, billiards is in the hall of elegance.

Because the one who started playing billiards was Xungui in Chang'an City, because billiards is fun.

Of course, the most important reason is that the game of billiards was created by Su Cheng.

Su Cheng's name is Datang's most famous golden signboard.

Billiards and bowling not only became popular in Chang'an within an extremely short period of time, but also quickly spread to Luoyang, and swept the entire Luoyang city like a whirlwind.

It can be predicted that billiards and bowling will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty at an extremely fast speed.

Just when billiards and bowling were popular in Chang'an, Su Cheng was choosing a place to build a college.

It can't be too far from Chang'an, and it's better not to be too far from the train station, and it can't occupy fertile land, and the college's land occupation can't be small.

After all, he built the college himself. Su Cheng hopes that this college can be passed on for hundreds of years or thousands of years, so it must be treated according to high standards.

But the problem is that although Su Cheng is rich and expensive, he has been buying land a lot these years, but the land near Chang'an City is not so easy to buy, and it has long been divided up by the nobles of the family.

Therefore, after Su Cheng chose a place, he could only find someone to buy the land.

Fortunately, what he wanted to buy was not fertile land, but barren hills and Susukida. With his face, it was not difficult to buy.

But everyone is also very curious, why did Su Cheng buy Barren Mountain and Susukita?
Does Su Cheng still care about the barren hills and Susukida?

Isn't that right?

Facing other people's questions, Su Cheng also told them frankly that the reason why he bought these barren hills and Susukida was to build a college.

The news quickly spread in Chang'an, buying so much land and building such a big academy, this is a big move.

And it was Su Cheng's big move!
All the people who heard the news were moved by the wind, like sharks smelling blood, and came straight to Sujiazhuang.

The iron-like facts tell them that whatever Su Cheng makes must be extraordinary.

Now Su Cheng is not only making a move, but also making a big move, and no one is far behind.

Wang Qingyun rushed back to Chang'an from Taiyuan, and came straight to Sujiazhuang when he heard the news, this time he came with confidence.

At the beginning, Su Cheng and Wang Shengnan only had a mutual affection, they were considered confidante, and strictly speaking it had nothing to do with each other.

But it's different now, Wang Shengnan is already Su Cheng's person, the two of them already have a skin relationship, Su Cheng can't just wipe it out and deny it, right?
"Qingyun, when did you return to Chang'an?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

Wang Qingyun couldn't help but hesitate slightly when he heard this, logically speaking, he is Wang Shengnan's elder brother, Su Cheng and Wang Shengnan are already in this relationship, shouldn't he be called elder brother?

Why are you still treating me like a junior?

In fact, not to mention that Su Cheng didn't marry Wang Shengnan, even if Su Cheng did marry Wang Shengnan, he wouldn't be able to call Wang Qingyun's elder brother.

After all, Wang Qingyun is just a little brother in front of Su Cheng, how can he have the right to call Su Cheng his brother?

Let alone Su Cheng, even Cheng Chumo and the others wouldn't want to, after all, in their hearts, Su Cheng is their big brother.

"I just came back to Chang'an yesterday." Wang Qingyun replied obediently, silently thinking about how to get into the topic.

However, Su Cheng could see his thoughts with a single word, and asked with a smile, "Why, what do you need from me?"

Wang Qingyun nodded: "I heard that you want to build a college?"

Su Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, there is such a thing, and it is under preparation."

"I heard that you bought a large piece of land?" Wang Qingyun asked.

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "We have bought more than 3000 acres so far, and we plan to continue buying."

Wang Qingyun couldn't help but gasp when he heard this: "Have you bought more than 3000 acres? Will you continue to buy? Why does the college need to be so big?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Of course, it's not all built at once. First, buy the land, and then expand slowly later."

"That's a big project, and it requires a lot of manpower and financial resources. If you need anything, just ask, don't be polite!" Wang Qingyun just patted his chest.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's indeed a big project, but don't be so accurate in your words. My college will not stop repairing it for the time being."

Wang Qingyun couldn't help being stunned: "If you don't stop cultivating? Then how do you make money?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "It's not for profit. For the time being, it mainly recruits children from poor families, and they take care of food and housing."

Wang Qingyun froze there after listening, wondering if he heard it wrong.

It costs a lot of money just to buy land, and then it also costs a lot of money to build a college, but in the end, it doesn't stop repairing, and even cares about the students' food and housing. This is not not for the purpose of profit, but a pure loss.

So the question is, what exactly is Su Cheng planning?

Wang Qingyun thought about it, but he really couldn't figure out what benefits could be gained from it.

Wang Qingyun asked suspiciously: "The children of poor families may not be able to read. What does this academy teach? Enlightenment?"

Su Cheng patiently explained: "Enlightenment is definitely needed. It is easy to enroll older children. They don't need to study their knowledge intensively, just let them know the basics."

"The main thing is to teach them management, accounting, and some craftsman skills, and train them to be excellent stewards, accountants, and craftsmen, not to make them officials."

Wang Qingyun couldn't help but suddenly realized, no wonder Su Cheng wanted to recruit children from poor families, who would learn from rich children?

Only children from poor families are willing to become stewards, bookkeepers, and craftsmen. This is already a great opportunity in life for them, as long as they can make a living.

However, poor families simply cannot afford Shuxiu.

Why did Su Cheng do this?

What is the benefit to Su Cheng by training children from poor families to become stewards, bookkeepers, and craftsmen?
Is Su Cheng purely for doing good deeds?
