The two black lines on Chu Ci's forehead almost became concrete. Christmas? If it weren't for knowing that Yang Tixue was a native ancient man, Chu Ci would have thought he had met a fellow villager.

However, except for him, others agree more. Isn’t the saint’s birthday the Christmas? So all kinds of compliments rushed to Yang Tixue like snowflakes, saying that his name was good.

Taifu Wen thought about it and asked, "Chu Siye wants to let the emperor issue an imperial edict to include this day in folk festivals, so that the people all over the world can follow and worship Confucius?"

"Yes, if we want to expand our influence, we must let everyone participate. Our academies alone will not play any role. Moreover, the emperor's move can also win over scholars and make the world come true."

Master Wen pondered for a while and said, "You are right, okay, when I go to court tomorrow, I will raise this matter to the emperor. You can continue to talk about it."

"yes!"

"After setting it into a festival, each household will need to sacrifice at that time. The officials believed that this sacrificial activity should be grand and grand, so it is best to demarcate a place for the ceremony this time."

Chu Ci said.

"Cut out a place?" Wen Taifu repeated it, then turned to look at Yang Tixue, "What place is bigger in this capital? It can be used as a place for worshiping Confucius this time?"

Yang Tixue thought for a long time and said, "There is a large open space in the southern suburbs of the capital. It is said that it was originally planned to build an open palace for the deceased prince, but the land had just been laid and the prince died first. Others dared not

No one dared to mention it to the late emperor, so he has been abandoned there."

"Is there no other place?" Mr. Wen was still a little taboo. The prince was also his student. If he touched his palace, he might disturb the dead.

Yang Tixue shook his head: "It is not easy to find an open space in Beijing, let alone it is so big. Apart from this place, I am afraid that if you want to find such a large open space, you can only find it out of Beijing."

"Chu Siye, what do you want to do in such a big place? I remember that there is also a sacrificial platform in the Ministry of Rites, why not be there?"

"Taifu, what Xiaguan wants to build is a cultural garden. In addition to holding a Confucius worship ceremony, this place can also give the capital an additional place worthy of appreciation."

"Cultural Park?" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this meant.

"Yes, this cultural garden is dominated by Confucian culture, supplemented by other cultures, and reproduces the grand occasion of the controversy among hundreds of schools of thought. This is also to reflect the Confucian compatible idea. There must be statues of the four saints and three sages in this cultural garden, and there must be statues of the four saints and three sages in this cultural garden.

There are various portraits that depict important scenes recorded in the book. In addition, various landscapes can be built. This landscape can be a smaller version of the real landscape or an illusion that the saints have described in writing.

In these places, the teachings of ancestors or poems and articles written by literati and poets can make people learn a lot while feasting their eyes. In addition, a place can be opened as a playground.

Isn’t it a pleasure to set up a variety of game methods to combine education with entertainment? And…” Chu Ci stood in the middle of the hall and talked happily. He was calm and slowly told what he had imagined in his heart.

"This...this..." Everyone here was shocked by Chu Ci's idea and couldn't speak. If there was really such a place, then all the students in the world would definitely yearn for it, even they were just

After hearing this idea, I can’t wait to see the place with my own eyes.

"Chu Siye is worthy of being the leader of the younger generation. His thoughts are so novel that we can't imagine. However, there is a problem that everyone must also know. Now that Confucius' birth is only more than a month away, such a big place must be built

, Isn't it easy? I wonder if Chu Siye had any idea of ​​any good way to solve the problem that my official just raised?" After his mood calmed down, Yang Tixue raised questions. He always felt that Chu Ci's idea was a little uncomfortable

Reliable.

Chu Ci smiled and said, "The question raised by Lord Yang is indeed difficult, and in addition to this question, there is actually another question, that is, where does the silver for building this cultural garden come from? Although my Great Wei Dynasty has these

There was no war in the year, but the court had not recovered from a snow disaster two years ago, and this year it encountered another flood. The disaster relief silver went to the treasury three or fourteenth of the national treasury. In addition, last year, the late emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne.

, and all the reasons combined, two or three out of the treasury have been removed. Now that the treasury is empty, the tax revenue this year has not been collected yet. At this critical moment, if you want to make a deposit of silver to the saint, it may make the saint embarrassed."

"Chu Siye, you know that there are many obstacles to doing this, why do you still raise it? Are you messing with us?" What else did you say even though you knew that it would not be possible? Yang Tixue was very indignant.

But Master Wen lowered his head and flipped through the few pieces of paper that Chu Ci had just given him. He always felt that Chu Ci would not say some useless words for no reason.

"Don't be angry, since the official has raised this matter, there will naturally be a solution. However, this solution needs to be considered and decided before you decide." Chu Ci smiled slightly, not taking his anger as

One thing.

"Chu Siye, don't keep it a secret, just say it!" the mountain chiefs urged.

"This is also simple. If you want to do these places well in more than a month, you must ask someone to help. These helpers need to contribute money and efforts to succeed. Looking at the wealthy businessmen in the capital, all of them are rich and rich.

.They have extremely strong appeal. As long as the land is divided into different areas and handed over to a dedicated person to the responsibility and start construction at the same time, it is likely that the garden can be repaired before the Confucius worship ceremony."

"Not to mention the smell of money on the businessman, I may neglect the saint. Let's say that this businessman is pursuing profits. Isn't it easy for us to let them contribute money and effort?"

"The Xiaguan has a way to persuade him, but it is not suitable to speak out now. If you agree to let the wealthy businessmen in Beijing participate, Chu will be sure to convince them. As long as they nod, the two problems will be solved easily.

.”

"Master Taifu, what do you think?" Yang Tixue asked when he saw that Taifu Wen had not spoken.

"I think this matter is feasible, so you might as well let Chu Siye try it first. If it really doesn't work, let's take a brief look this year and then make a long-term plan later." said Wen Taifu. Others nodded in agreement.

Chu Ci bowed to Wen Taifu, then turned to other mountain chiefs and said, "Okay, this matter will be left to the task. There is another thing, please ask the mountain chiefs to choose more than a dozen generous and unrestrained students after they go back.

, let them come to the Imperial College after school breaks out every afternoon."

Dear students who are confused and generous and unrestrained? How should they do a generous and generous way? Although they are not sure which kind of students meet the requirements, they still nodded and said that they will cooperate.

After saying this, Chu Ci said that everything would be planned slowly after he had persuaded the merchants. After the discussion was over, everyone said goodbye. Chu Ci was about to leave, but was stopped by Taifu Wen again.

"Teacher Wen, do you have anything else to order?" Chu Ci asked respectfully.

"I still don't understand this plan after reading it. I don't understand what you just said very much. Why not do this? You go with me tomorrow to meet the saint and explain it clearly in person, how about it?"

It’s not that he really doesn’t understand, but he thinks that Chu Ci’s idea is very outstanding, but he is unwilling to steal other people’s credit. It’s better to go with the flow and let Chu Ci show his talent in front of the emperor.

Chu Ci said: "It just so happened that I also wanted to ask the emperor to let the master of the Ministry of Revenue do things with me. Then tomorrow morning, the subordinates will wait in front of the palace gate and wait for the emperor to send someone to summon him."

...

The next morning, after Changchao, Taifu Wen followed the emperor to the imperial study room.

After the emperor sat down, he asked Taifu Wen to sit down, and then said to the outside: "Come on, show the tea for the Taifu!"

The Grand Tutor Wen quickly stood up to thank him. The emperor chuckled and said, "Why do you have to be like a heretic? Sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Master, this is the priest, but the old minister cannot ignore the right measure." Wen Taifu said. When Master Wen was his student, he could say a few more words, but now it is different from the past. You must be careful in your words and actions.

It won't cause trouble to the family.

"Oh, if everyone could be as good as the Taifu, and behave properly, the world would be peaceful and worry-free." The emperor sighed, his eyes full of helplessness. Now the two factions in the court are becoming increasingly serious.

Although it has not reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, it is like a needle facing the wheat, and it is quarreling every day. It is so annoying!

"The emperor does not have to worry too much. Although the ministers in the court have different positions, they still have the same destination. They all have the same intention to serve the country, and they are all very far-sighted for the beautiful country of our Great Wei Dynasty." Wen Taifu comforted.

"The Grand Tutor's words are reasonable." The emperor nodded. Otherwise, he would have wanted their heads to fall to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the old minister came here this time to ask His Highness for something."

"What? Did the Grand Tutor like another book of mine? Just say it." The emperor joked with a smile.

After hearing his teasing, Master Wen said in shame: "No, the old minister did not come for the book, but for the thing he mentioned to the Lord yesterday."

"What the Grand Tutor is talking about the sacrifice to Confucius? But was Chu Ci's plan written?"

"That's right, his plan has a lot of content, but if it is to be realized, it will first require a large piece of open space."

"Empty ground?" The emperor frowned, "What is the Taifu mean?"

"The old minister refers to the large open space in the southern suburbs of the capital. However, the old minister cannot explain the specific use of this place. I also asked the emperor to summon Chu Siye to the palace and let him explain his plan to you carefully

.”

"It seems that the Grand Tutor is prepared. Okay, I will pass on the Imperial College Chuci!"

"Biography, Chu Ci, the Imperial College..."

The sound was passed down one by one, and soon, Chu Ci, who was waiting at the gate of the palace, was taken in by a little eunuch.

"I am a humble minister, the Imperial Supervisor, Chu Ci, and I pay homage to the emperor. Long live my emperor."

"Don't give me a favor. Chu Aiqing, what is the intention of the open space in the southern suburbs? What does it have to do with your plan? I'm willing to hear it carefully."

"Yes, then I will tell you slowly..." Chu Ci calmly handed over the plan and began to explain one by one.

After a long time, the emperor nodded and said, "I will issue this imperial edict later, and that piece of land can also be used for you. But you must remember that this Confucius worship ceremony is only allowed to succeed, not fail.

This matter is related to the face of my Great Wei Dynasty. If it cannot be done well, I will ask you." Because this time, not only the Great Wei Kingdom, but other small countries have also sent envoys to come. If it cannot be done well, all face will be lost by then
