The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 724 Build a University

The last canned food was regarded as military rations by Li Shimin.

At the same time, canned food brought Li Yin a steady stream of income. After the southern fruits and seaside seafood were made into canned food, in addition to the welcome of the people in Guanzhong, the people in the south liked it even more.

After all, Li Yin's approach directly stimulated the development of the South.

A large amount of hot money entered the south, and Li Yin also made a lot of profits from it.

This also added a lot of wealth to his business empire.

Since then, Li Yin has also gained a reputation in the south.

Of course, canned food is not for everyone.

But because of the existence of the Shengtang Group, it provided a steady stream of income channels for the entire Chang'an people.

All of their workers are highly paid, and their spending power is naturally extremely high.

Therefore, the price is really nothing to them.

Sometimes, officials in the imperial court would lament that their spending power was not as good as that of the workers of Shengtang Group.

It's just a matter of them coming to Shengtang Group to work as workers and earn some money.

Even if Li Shimin refuses, he also expressly prohibits it, otherwise a large number of people will definitely give up their official positions and go to Shengtang Group to seek gold.

On this day, Li Yin summoned [-] scholars including Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, Literary Chu Liang, Yao Silian, etc., and asked Ouyang Xun and other literary figures to go to Changlefang to select the site.

At this time, Sun Simiao and Li Yun also followed.

Their appearance made the people a little surprised.

How is this?
Why are so many literati here together.

Are you still under the leadership of Li Yin?

Although Li Yin has kept a low profile as much as possible, once he shows his face, everywhere he goes will be extraordinary.

Changlefang is just to the east of Dongshi, below Daozhengfang.

The location here is already close to the east gate.

This trip, a group of people are very excited.

These scholars usually get together, but they are not led by Li Yin.

Everyone is together today.

It means there must be something important.

A group of people walked to an open space.

Li Yin said to everyone, "Everyone, listen to me."

Everyone quieted down.

"In the future, I want to study a university here!"

Universities in ancient and modern times have similar meanings.

In ancient times, "University" not only refers to the Confucian classic "University", but also refers to institutions gathered at specific locations to collate, research and disseminate knowledge in advanced fields.According to the literature, a university is an institution with higher education functions.

Therefore, when Li Yin talked about university, everyone felt that Li Yin was going to start with education.

This is a great thing.

So, as soon as his words fell, everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

"That's great, Datang will have a private university in the future!"

"As far as Mr. Zili's appeal is concerned, this university will definitely be able to absorb a large number of bachelors!"

"Students are not a problem!"

"Then, there will be more talents governing the Tang Dynasty in the future!"

People are discussing.

But Li Yin thought in his heart that the big aspect of building a university is for Datang, while the small one is for himself.

In the future, our own talents will also be selected from this university.

This kind of university, he didn't stop at opening one.

Tens, hundreds or even a thousand.

The development of science and technology and medicine is inseparable from professional talents.

However, the talents that Shengtang Group can cultivate are limited.

Therefore, according to the future layout, he wanted to build a university first.

Kong Yingda asked: "So, Mr. Zili wants us to come and choose a site together?"

The location here is at the corner of Changlefang, and there are only a few families.

Li Min nodded.

"I asked you to come today because of three things."

Everyone is puzzled.

What is that?

"First, it is about the site selection mentioned by the Confucius University scholar. I want to choose this place. What do you think?"

Fang Xuanling said: "This location is very good, just next to Dongshi, and next to Shengtang Group."

Others have also expressed.

Shinan Yu said:

"Although Changlefang is on the edge of Dongshi, it is not as prosperous as Dongshi, but it is a surprisingly spiritual place, and you can see the scenery outside the city without being disturbed by the hustle and bustle. I thought it would be the best place to build a university here. It's great!"

"I agree with Yu Shinan's statement that reading should be quiet and not placed in a busy city, otherwise you may be contaminated by worldly atmosphere!"

Like Pingkangfang, most of the brothels are located there.

It is indeed inappropriate if the university is built there.

Li Yin also thought about this point.

Others also expressed their own views.

Everyone agrees on this point.

Fang Xuanling asked: "What about the second point?"

"Second point, regarding the approval, this will be the largest university in Datang, so there will be more than ten floors above the building..."

When it came to this, everyone understood what Li Yin wanted to say.

Fang Xuanling said directly: "I will go into the palace and talk to His Majesty about this in a while. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It should be approved."

"Yes, we will also enter the palace to mention this matter with His Majesty!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zili, just let us do this!"

That's one of the reasons why they came out together.

Didn't expect these people to be so smart.

Surprise and surprise.

If so, that would be great.

At this time, someone asked: "What about the third?"

"Third, I have a request!"

The crowd was quiet.

After a while.

"Mr. Zili has something to say, as long as we can use it, I will do my best!"

"Yes, Mr. Zili, if you need it, just say it, I will do it!"

"No, Mr. Zili has done so many things for Datang, if you have anything to say, I will help."

Almost everyone expressed their views.

Everyone is unified.

Sun Simiao on the side looked at the situation in front of him with great satisfaction.

But Li Yun was a little emotional.

This is how helpful the Taoist is.

"Very well, everyone said so, then I will explain."

Li Yin is very satisfied with everyone's performance.

If you say that, then you are welcome.

"Next, the university I want to build can accommodate more than 2 students. These students must be under the age of 20."

This scale is already very large.

In ancient universities, there were no more than a hundred students.

With so many people, it's not easy.

At the same time, he emphasized the 20-year-old.

After all, there is no need to spend too much energy on the elderly.

You know, there is a saying in "Hanshu": "It is too common to choose those who are over eighteen years old and have a good appearance to make up for doctoral disciples." Young people with outstanding knowledge entered Taixue.

The second is "junguo recommendation", that is, local officials recommend outstanding local students for admission.In addition, there are those who have been selected through examinations, or those who have been admitted because their parents have served in the court.

The age span of the students is very large, ranging from teenagers to seniors in their 60s and [-]s. It can be seen that at that time people realized that learning has nothing to do with age. As long as there is a willingness to learn, everyone can get the opportunity to learn .

This is the current situation in universities.

But Li Yin didn't do that.

Only young people have vitality and can create greater value.

But that doesn't mean you can't get older.

It's just that they're constrained by existing knowledge.It is very difficult to change.

The younger ones are more receptive.

Listen everyone, no one expresses an opinion, because everyone knows that Li Yin must have thought about the purpose of doing this.

He went on to say: "So, I want you to help introduce teachers, and all talented people can be introduced to work in the university!"

When he said this, everyone suddenly realized that it was so.

Li Yin looked at everyone, hoping to get an answer from them.
