Le Yezhou said, "Do you know why the old man resigned and returned home?"
The Minister of Rites shook his head, "I don't know."
Don't tell me, you know?!
"I guess he must be dissatisfied with the late emperor!"
"That's why the old man deliberately avoided state affairs and didn't even recognize our current emperor."
"Look, there's no other family within a ten-mile radius of where the old man lives. He probably doesn't want to have too much contact with the outside world."
"Then why is the old gentleman willing now?" The Minister of Rites was puzzled. "You haven't even told him the wages yet. Isn't he worried about the low wages?"
"Why would someone like the old man care about the amount of wages?"
"I guess the old man must have a good impression of our current emperor!"
Le Yezhou keenly discovered that the old man's attitude changed after he learned who Emperor Dewu was.
"In short, no matter what the reason is, this is a good thing for us."
"It is an honor for these students to receive instruction from the old gentleman."
All they need to know is that the knowledgeable old gentleman is willing to teach those students.
The Minister of Rites thought about it and agreed.
"You are right. It would be fine as long as the old gentleman is willing."
The old man had very few things, so he simply packed them up and came out with his bag. Le Yezhou quickly went over to help him carry it, "Old man, let me help you carry it."
"Don't worry, there are accommodations in the academy, and there are chefs to prepare meals."
The old man was a little surprised, "It's arranged so carefully."
"Yes, the emperor said that we should do everything we can to ensure that the students enjoy the best."
When the old man heard this, he was moved.
Scholars understand the hardships of others best. The emperor's consideration for scholars makes him feel warm.
Le Yezhou took the old man to the school. The school was very large, and the teachers all lived in small courtyards. "Outside this courtyard, if you want to grow some vegetables, just grow them as you like."
"This whole yard is yours."
The old man frowned and said, "You don't have to give me such a big yard. If you make my yard smaller, more students can come to class."
Le Yezhou smiled, "Don't worry, old sir. The classroom is very large and can accommodate many students."
"You have a good environment and good health, so you can teach better, right?"
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded and said nothing more.
Le Yezhou helped the old gentleman tidy up the room, and then he and the Minister of Rites went to invite other teachers. A few teachers were not very willing to come, so Le Yezhou said that the old gentleman was also here. When they heard that the old gentleman was here, those teachers who were not very willing to come all came.
There were even teachers who introduced other teachers.
After chatting with them, Le Yezhou found out that they were all once students of the old man.
The old man retired at the right time, and they didn't know where he lived.
"I didn't expect that the gentleman was actually in Yangxin County!"
"We didn't know!"
In fact, it is normal. Yangxin County is not big, but not small either. But if the old man deliberately doesn't want people to know, there are many ways to do it.
For example, if you disguise it a little bit, they won’t be able to recognize it.
As they get older, their faces change a little, and they become even less recognizable.
As soon as these teachers arrived at the school, they went to pay their respects to the old teacher first, and the old teacher was also happy to see them.
"In the future, let's work together to impart knowledge to these younger generations."
"They are the hope of the Yuan Dynasty."
The teachers nodded one after another, "We are willing to follow you, sir!"
"Who is this old man?"
Even the Minister of Rites was surprised at the old man's appeal.
It was Le Yezhou who was talking to them just now. Because they spoke in a low voice, he didn't hear Le Yezhou say the old man's name.
"Ji Changfeng."
Ji Changfeng?
The Minister of Rites muttered his name in a low voice and took a deep breath, "Is it Mr. Ji, whose students are everywhere?!"
"Back then, the late emperor valued Mr. Ji very much!"
"But I don't know why Mr. Ji resigned and returned home after teaching the eldest prince."
“At the time, this was really a pity.”
Le Yezhou smiled helplessly, "I don't know either. I wasn't even born at that time!"
The Minister of Rites didn't quite understand it either, as he was not very old at the time.
"But if Mr. Ji really has many students all over the world, then it will be easier for us to find a teacher."
Le Yezhou curved his lips and smiled, "With Mr. Ji as a living signboard, do you still worry about not being able to find a teacher?"
The Minister of Rites also laughed, "Then we just need to find another stable cook."
They have already found one, who is currently responsible for the teachers' three meals a day.
But one cook is not enough. When subsequent students arrive, at least two cooks will be needed.
If it is not enough, it may be increased later.
"Then let's go look for them." Le Yezhou and the Minister of Rites went to various restaurants and inns to taste the dishes. If the food tasted good, they would try to recruit the chefs.
Fortunately, they also found a good chef.
After all the matters in Yangxin County were settled, the letter written by Emperor Dewu also arrived. Le Yezhou sent people to make a plaque and began to recruit students. After enrolling enough students, he went to the next county to start building a second school.
…
"Ji Changfeng, Mr. Ji..." Emperor Dewu looked at the letter sent by Le Yezhou, and a hint of nostalgia flashed across his eyes.
He had met Mr. Ji several times.
