Li Zexuan disagreed with Wang Ji's remark that the academy was "just a bunch of dead things". He felt that a school's environment was still beneficial to the students' studies.
Therefore, in the afternoon, he brought Li Gang, Yan Silu, Mo Huai, and the others to Yun Mountain to visit Yanhuang College! Speaking of which, he also wanted to see how Yanhuang College would look like after it was completed.
Li Zexuan, Li Gang, and Yan Silu were in one, while Mo Huai, Mo Zhong, and Mo Yun were in the other. Li Gang had ridden in this new carriage a few months ago when he participated in the compilation of the Tang Dynasty Dictionary, so he was not surprised at all. Although Yan Silu was a local of Chang 'an, he had heard about the comfort of the new carriages from the Wonderful Taste Pavilion. However, this thing was too expensive, and there was no market for it. In Yan Silu's opinion, this was just a toy for the rich kids to compare with each other. It was not practical, so the Yan Family naturally did not buy this kind of carriage.
However, when he sat on the soft sofa and looked at the rapidly passing street outside the window, he could not help but sigh in his heart. "This carriage is a little expensive, but it's really worth it! No wonder so many people are fighting to buy it! "
"Uncle, this carriage …"
In the other carriage, Mo Zhong looked at the luxurious interior decoration and felt the stable posture of the carriage. He could not help but widen his eyes and murmur in disbelief.
In fact, Mo Huai was also in shock. Their Mo Family had always had a deep understanding of the art of making carriages. However, judging from the current carriage, the craftsmanship of the carriage was already above their Mo Family's. Furthermore, these sofas and other things that they didn't recognize were simply an eye-opener for him.
"Perhaps, this is engineering!"
After staying silent for a long time, Mo Huai sighed with slight disappointment.
Seeing this, Mo Zhong and Mo Yun did not dare to say anything more. The two of them sat quietly on the sofa in the carriage. Feeling the unusual softness of the seat under them, the two brothers were shocked again. After carefully counting the number of times they had been shocked when they followed Mo Huai to the banquet today, they had already lost count.
"So this is the life of the rich! That's great! "
Mo Zhong leaned on the back of the sofa and looked at the endless stream of people outside the window. He couldn't help but think.
At this moment, for some reason, Mo Zhong suddenly felt a little lucky that their magnate had been defeated by Li Zexuan that day. However, after realizing his thoughts, Mo Zhong's heart was instantly filled with shame.
He glanced at Mo Huai with a slightly guilty conscience, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he noticed that Mo Huai wasn't paying attention to him. He hurriedly moved his gaze away. However, during the process of moving his gaze away, he seemed to have sensed something and noticed that Mo Yun was actually doing the same thing as him. Their gazes met in the air for a moment before they moved their gazes away, and then they both lowered their heads with tacit understanding.
…
"Haha! Little Xuan, you really know how to pick a place. The environment here is serene and beautiful, with verdant hills and limpid waters. It makes one feel relaxed and happy. It's really a good place to study and cultivate! "
After stopping the carriage at the foot of the mountain, the few of them alighted and walked up the newly built stairs. Looking at the dense forest around them, mixed with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Li Gang smiled and said with his hands behind his back.
Yan Silu raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain. He stroked his beard and said, "It's indeed a good place to study. Compared to the Directorate, it's too noisy. However, isn't this Cloud Mountain a little too high?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "It's good to be a little higher! A little higher can allow the students to train their bodies more. This is what they mean by 'suffering makes one's spirit grow, and toiling makes one's muscles and bones grow'! A little higher can allow one to stand at the top and see how small the mountains are! It also means that our Yanhuang disciples will definitely stand at the top in the future! "
"Good! You're ambitious, kid! "
Yan Silu patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and laughed heartily.
The few of them chatted and laughed as they walked up the stairs. Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
Everyone's eyes lit up at once!
Reflecting the evening sun, the rows of glass windows on the majestic cathedral of Yanhuang College reflected the sunlight into everyone's eyes. The group of people couldn't help but squint their eyes.
After getting used to the strong light, everyone finally saw the true appearance of Yanhuang College. Then, inevitably, they were all shocked!
The wide and flat cement roads, the tall and majestic buildings made of cement bricks, the rather different architectural styles, and the extravagant glass windows and glass walls made Li Gang, Yan Silu, Mo Huai, and the others freeze on the spot.
"Oh my goodness! This is heaven, right? "
Mo Zhong's eyes widened, and his heart trembled violently. Just the corner of the college that he saw from here had already subverted his understanding of the world. He couldn't imagine how unexpected the full picture of the college would be.
Gulp ~!
Mo Yun couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. His eyes stared straight at the cathedral of Yanhuang College — Guang Hua Building. This guy was probably still wondering how much it would cost to buy so much glass, right?
"Heh! Previously, Wang Wugong said that Yanhuang College was just a pile of dead things and not worth looking at. He'll probably be shocked when he sees what Yanhuang College looks like in the future! "
Li Gang was, after all, someone who had seen the world. He was the first to come back to his senses. At this moment, he smiled meaningfully.
"Yes! I have to say, Little Xuan, this college of yours is really beyond this old man's expectations! "
Yan Silu stroked his beard and sighed.
Mo Huai glanced at the structure of Guang Hua Building, and surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, he looked at the road and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord Li, what material is this road made of? Why haven't I seen it before? "
Because of the previous bet, Mo Huai had always addressed Li Zexuan by his title. He didn't dare to address him as "Little Xuan" like Li Gang and Yan Silu.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Mr. Mo, there's no need to be so formal. You can just call me Little Xuan! The material used for the road is a new material that this kid's workshop invented. It's called cement. This material is extremely sticky. Not only is it incomparably hard to build roads, but it's also abnormally flat. It won't be affected at all on a rainy day! Other than that, cement can also be used to build houses. Its firmness is even stronger than glutinous rice mortar! Yanhuang College's buildings are all made of cement and bricks! "
Mo Huai raised his brows and seemed to be lost in thought.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "It's boring to just stand here and look. Gentlemen, let's go in and take a look!"
Li Gang, Yan Silu, Mo Huai, and the others naturally agreed, and the group walked toward the gate of the college.
What Li Zexuan didn't expect was that he would meet someone he didn't expect to see here.
"Eh? Young man, what a coincidence! We meet again! "
