The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"What does the prince mean?"

Zizhen Taoist's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he asked curiously.

As the head of Qingxu Temple in this generation, he was not worried that too many disciples would leave.

The disciples he wanted were those who focused on studying.

Not those who told fortunes and cheated people out of money.

He was not worried that Qingxu Temple would decline.

The only thing he was worried about was that the Taoist temple would be dilapidated and fall into disrepair.

Watching Qingxu Temple slowly turn into a pile of ruins.

I didn't expect that this young master would come to the door and not only promised to maintain the peace and tranquility of Qingxu Temple.

He was also willing to bear the incense fee of one thousand taels a year...

Now he has taken the initiative to add two conditions, the supply of libraries and books!

You know, in this era, it may be difficult to get food and silver.

But getting enough books is the most difficult thing!

All books are in the hands of the noble families, and it is difficult for ordinary scholars to get a book...

"Master, my intention is very simple."

"Although Qingxu Temple has fallen into decline, I only understood it after visiting today."

"There are still dozens of Taoist priests studying hard in the Taoist temple."

"There are so many erudite talents in the Taoist temple."

"So I am willing to continue to support the Taoist priests in their study."

"Let Qingxu Temple be a treasure house of knowledge in the future and continue to pass it down from generation to generation."

Duan Chun said with a fist.

He understood one thing in his previous life, Taoism is a native religion of my country since ancient times.

And Taoism is not the kind of religion that people think of as alchemy and cultivation, and want to become immortals.

What kind of things are seeking immortality, fortune-telling, and exorcism can only be regarded as inferior.

The so-called inferior, in simple terms, is mean.

It is just a means used by charlatans to deceive people for profit.

The real Taoist advocates respecting the Tao and valuing virtues and imitating nature.

Taking purity and inaction as the principle, governing the country and cultivating oneself and dealing with the relationship between man and nature, it is called Taoism.

Taoism is one of the hundreds of schools of thought, and is a cultural school used to study philosophy and science.

It was not until the Han Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties that sects such as alchemy and ghost catching began to appear.

It turned Taoism into a secular Taoism...

Duan Chun had seen it clearly outside just now.

The real Taoists who pretended to be gods and ghosts had long been driven out of Qingxu Temple by the emperor's order.

These dozens of Taoist priests who refused to leave, what they do every day is reading and studying.

This is the real school of learning.

Duan Chun is willing to continue to maintain the current situation of Qingxu Temple.

For him, it is also an opportunity to develop science and technology and cultivate talents.

He wants to make Qingxu Temple, a peaceful place, into the scientific research center of the future Dakang Empire.

It can be regarded as coming here today, in addition to opening a school.

An unexpected gain.

"The prince actually has such an idea?"

"I want to turn this place into a large library...

Zizhen Taoist priest was very surprised.

"Yes, Taoist priest."

"But these ideas of mine have to be completed step by step."

"The Great Kang Empire has just been established, and it wants to stabilize the world in the future."

"But it is not relying on the strength of cavalry and weapons."

"Cultural knowledge is the real core."

"It can help the people of the world stabilize and live a peaceful life."

"Today I am glad to see the Taoist priests so focused on academic research."

"I am willing to provide a better academic environment for the Taoist priests."

Duan Chun said seriously.

"It seems that I am fortunate to meet the prince today."

"Then I will wait for the prince's future plan."

"I hope the prince will remember what I said here today."

"The west courtyard is handed over to the prince. If you need a teacher, please speak up. "

Zizhen Taoist nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Taoist!"

"I will come to see you often in the future."

"I hope to learn more from you."

"I will leave today without disturbing you."

Duan Chun immediately bowed with both hands.

Zizhen Taoist stopped talking and lowered his head to do his own things.

But when he saw Duan Chun's back leaving the main hall and about to disappear outside the courtyard door.

He raised his head, with surprise in his eyes...

If this prince can do what he said, that would be the best thing.

But Taoist Zizhen didn't dare to hope for it.

The culture of the world is controlled by the aristocratic families.

Although what this prince said is good, it depends on what he will do in the future...

Duan Chun strode out of the inner courtyard of Qingxu Temple and returned to the front yard.

Looking at the west side of the front yard, he took his personal guards to meet the Taoist priest under his guidance. .

Entering this large courtyard that is almost dilapidated.

Three halls are arranged in a triangular shape on the west side of the courtyard.

There are also countless small pavilions scattered near the halls.

Duan Chun was very satisfied with what he saw. What he needed was a quiet place to study.

Qingxu Temple is located in the hilly area on the east side of Shangxuanfang.

This will become the first school he will build with all his strength in this world in the future.

Duan Chun's literacy work will start from here.

He brought his personal guards and, under the guidance of the Taoist priest, quickly confirmed the environment of the canteen, dormitory, classroom, etc.

The rest of the things are just spending money on repairs, arranging manpower, and other matters.

I made a rough calculation in my mind and decided to open a primary school that could accommodate hundreds of children.

The cost is actually not high, just three to four hundred taels of silver.

This will ensure all the expenses here for at least half a year.

As for manpower, we will transfer people from Yuxiang Farm.

After all, this will be the school for the children of Xiaoqiwei from now on.

Wait a year or two and then think of ways to expand the size of the school.

Let more children of common people enter Qingxu Temple and study...

When leaving Qingxu Temple, Duan Chun asked Zhang Wu to take out one hundred taels of household pawning tickets again and hand them to Taoist Master Jie Yin.

Let him help take care of the west courtyard first and wait for one of his own to take over.

The Taoist priest was very surprised.

He quickly put away the one hundred taels of pawn tickets and expressed his willingness to act in accordance with the prince's instructions.

After leaving Qingxu Temple, Duan Chun took his personal guards to carefully examine the surrounding environment.

The more I look at it, the happier I feel.

Shangxuanfang is originally an area where a large number of ordinary people live.

Here, not a single mansion of a wealthy family can be seen.

There are only shops on both sides of the street and a large number of residential buildings.

Shangxuanfang is located right in the middle of the Imperial City, between the East Market and the West Market.

Therefore, the people here are willing to gather here to conveniently go to the East and West markets to work.

Duan Chun is also very satisfied with the population of Shangxuanfang.

Because ordinary people have a large population, the number of their sons must also be astonishing.

The future of Shangxuanfang...

Duan Chun wanted to build this place into the urban center of Dakang Imperial Capital.

But how to develop must be done step by step.

Returning to his shop, Duan Chun immediately received the good news from Li Laosan.

All the details of the other shops rented out by the Changguo Duke's Mansion have also been figured out.

Duan Chun was already planning in his mind how to take back all the rented shops.

Then open the store you want...
