By the time they were done talking, they were not far from the school. Very quickly, Hong Dali saw a huge city wall that was emitting a dark green light — that's right, it was really a city wall. From afar, it looked like a meandering dragon, winding from where they could see to where they couldn't see. On the city wall, Hong Dali even saw a few buildings that looked like turrets …
Hong Dali stared in bewilderment. "It's true. Principal Wang, this school is being built so quickly?!"
"Actually, it was very slow at the start." Principal Wang sighed and said, "But a while ago, the higher-ups sent an engineering team down. It's said that they had just finished building an air force base. It's only been a little more than a month, and such a big school has already risen from the ground. "
Hong Dali said in surprise, "This Uncle Chief, why doesn't he ask me before doing anything? He's so sloppy — but I like it!"
They actually sent an engineering team to build a space base. Awesome!
Now that they were close, Hong Dali could finally see the whole picture of the school.
Campus city, this was a real campus city.
Just the gray city wall in front of him was at least five meters high. Below it were stalls for shops. The top had not been built yet, but it was at the sealing stage. It could be seen that it was about eight meters wide. It definitely wouldn't be a problem for a few cars to run through — the pillars at the bottom were all built according to the model of a high-level bridge.
A gate was at least twenty meters wide. This position should be the first to be built. There wasn't a traditional signboard on it. Instead, there was a super large polyhedron that looked like a satellite. On it, there were seven big words similar to the opening words of "Transformers" that were filmed on Earth — New Lanxiang Campus City.
Other things aside, just this gate alone was enough to make Hong Dali beam with delight. "Wahahahaha! Awesome, this was simply too awesome! I want this kind of style! Hahaha! "
Looking at Hong Dali's elation, Principal Wang sighed and secretly tugged on Hong Dali's sleeve. He softly said, "Young Master Dali, there's something I don't know if I should say …"
"Ah? What is it? "Hong Dali curiously asked," Why are you so polite to me, a junior? "
"I can't not be polite. It's about spending money." Principal Wang whispered, "I'm just thinking that many of the good things passed down by our ancestors have been lost. Those that were not lost were not being learned now. Just look at the Book of Changes, etiquette, traditional Chinese medicine, carpentry, and ceramics. If they could not find a successor, they might be completely lost in the future. I was thinking, Young Master, since you don't lack money, why don't … why don't … "Speaking up to this point, Principal Wang still couldn't bring himself to do it. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said," Why don't you take out more money and open up more courses in this area … "
"Take more?" Hong Dali asked.
"Take a little more, not a lot, just a little will do. Buy some books for the children to read by themselves …" Principal Wang said with a hint of embarrassment. If there was a crack in the ground, he would definitely crawl into it.
"Then, is 10 million enough?" Hong Dali thought for a while. "If it's not enough, I'll take more!"
"Cough, cough, cough —" Headmaster Wang almost choked on his saliva. He coughed a few times and said in surprise, "I said a few hundred thousand, a few hundred thousand would be enough …"
"How can that do!?" Hong Dali said matter-of-factly. "Can a few hundred thousand show my prodigal spirit? It's settled then, 20 million! Don't think it's too much, I won't give you a discount! "
He wanted a few hundred thousand, and you gave him 20 million, not allowing him to think it was too much, and not giving him a discount!
But thinking about it carefully, this was really a good thing. After all, the ancient treasures of Heavenly State couldn't be thrown away. There weren't many people who wanted to learn about it now. If 20 million could promote traditional culture again, the money spent was really worth it.
Now that this matter was settled, everyone instantly walked into the school.
Passing through the frighteningly huge city walls, the interior had already changed greatly. The people who built the air force base were all skilled workers. Machines, workers, and trucks stretched for miles. It was bustling, and raw materials could be said to be continuously transported in. A few teaching buildings had already been built, and it could be seen that the dormitories and other things were almost completed — if they weren't too particular about it, they could really start classes.
Just then, the engineer wearing a construction hat saw Hong Dali and hurriedly ran over. He pointed at a huge pit that was a few thousand square meters at the entrance and asked, "Young Master Dali, is this pond big enough?"
Hong Dali expressed his dissatisfaction. "That's a swimming pool?"
The engineer instantly broke out in a cold sweat. "That's the artificial lake that the Black Tortoise usually stays in …"
Hong Dali jumped and said, "This is the place where our Big Turtle stays in? It's so small, it's more suitable to rear fish. Don't you think it's too small to rear the Black Tortoise? If it goes in, even its head won't be able to go down, right? "
"This …" The engineer broke out in a cold sweat. "Then, should I expand it a little more?"
"Forget it." Hong Dali looked around. "If you expand it any more, there won't be any space for walkways. Dig deeper, at least about five meters deep. Oh right, how do we solve the problem of water source? "
"Water source, that's simple." The engineer indicated that he was already prepared. "We plan to draw water from the underground lake of Tianjing Mountain. By then, we will try to draw out more fish. This way, the Black Tortoise will have a source of food."
Since everything was more or less done, Hong Dali instantly nodded. "Then, let's do that." Then, he said to Principal Wang, "Later, when I go back, I will make a trip to Water Spirit Village to fetch Sister Yuxi and the rest back. At the same time, I will also inform them to inform the children in their village to come to our school for lessons."
"Then …" This time, Principal Wang's expression was very solemn. "Young Master Dali, I will have to trouble you."
"It's my pleasure." Hong Dali sniffled. "Anyway, it won't cost me my gas money — I will ask Uncle Chief to send someone to fetch them!"
…
When they returned to Chenhui Building and calculated the time, "Where Are We Going, Dad" was almost done filming. After Ling Xiaoyi prepared the helicopter, everyone instantly set off. Now that they were familiar with the route, they very quickly arrived at Water Spirit Village.
"Young Master Dali, you're here?" Mu Yuxi had already brought everyone to wait at the entrance of the village. Once she saw the helicopter, she hurriedly went up to welcome them. After all, she was a pampered missy. Although she was an outer member of the Hong Family, she had never suffered like this before. Once she saw Hong Dali, it was as if she had seen a relative. "Everything here is good, just that there are too many mosquitoes. These two days, they really stared at us badly. Everyone's arms and legs are full of blisters!"
It was true that women, especially beautiful women, had a nice fragrance, but the problem was that mosquitoes didn't know how to appreciate beauty — they only cared about whether their blood tasted good or not …
As expected, once Mu Yuxi said this, the others were quite depressed. Tang Anqi was so angry that her teeth itched. Unfortunately, it was fine to use a brick to hit a person, but it was too difficult to hit a mosquito.
Relatively speaking, Catherine was still better. Life here was full of mystery and novelty to her. Although she was bitten quite badly, it wasn't too serious and she could still endure it.
Just then, Little Wang Mo came up and said, "Big Brother Dali, are we going back now? I miss Mummy. "
"Yup, I'll leave after I settle something." Hong Dali walked up to the village chief and asked, "Village Chief, I've already bought this village. Therefore, the land here is considered mine — of course, there's no need to move it now. I've built a school and there aren't many students. How many of the children in the village do you think will be able to go there?"
"Young Master Dali, you mean to ask the children in our village to study at your school?" The village chief was obviously stunned. "Okay, that's a good thing! Then, I'll ask them to come over now? "
"Okay." Hong Dali nodded. "Then ask them to come over. I'll inform them and ask them to prepare. Then, I'll ask someone to come and fetch them. It should be in one or two days."
"Okay, okay, okay!" The village chief was so moved that his eyes were brimming with tears. He said to a child who had been hiding at the door, "Chen Ergou, go and get all the children above six years old in our village to come over! Remember, all of them, don't forget any of them! "
Chen Ergou looked at the old village chief in a daze, as if he didn't understand.
The old village chief urged him. "Quick, go. Young Master Dali says he wants all of you to study at his school!"
Now that he understood, Chen Ergou immediately ran. The old village chief ordered from behind, "Run faster!"
Chen Ergou instantly disappeared from everyone's sight like a mad dog let loose from its leash.
"This kid runs quite fast." Hong Dali smiled very happily. At this time, everyone finally discovered another side of him — this fellow was not only good to animals, he was also good to humans …
In just a short while, a bunch of children gathered in front of the village chief's office — the men in this village had all gone out to work, leaving behind only the elderly, women, and children. The ratio was almost three to one. Although there were only about a thousand people in the village, there were more than three hundred children.
These children arrived in batches. Some of them even brought along farming tools. Obviously, they had rushed over halfway.
Hong Dali looked at the time on his phone. "In the future, these children should practice long-distance running. Otherwise, it will be a pity!"
Very quickly, Chen Ergou ran back. "Village chief, Big Brother Dali, I have searched all the places in the village where people could be hiding. I didn't find anyone."
"En, not bad." Hong Dali was very satisfied. "Everyone will be rewarded with 100 yuan as pocket money. I will reward you with 200 yuan!"
The group of children instantly cheered.
When the scene finally quietened down, Hong Dali cleared his throat and said, "I won't say anything unnecessary. Everyone, go back and get the village chief's signature. Make some preparations. There should be someone coming to pick you up to go to school in these two days. When you reach there, just tell me what you want to learn. As long as it's not a terrorist attack, anything else is fine. Meals and lodging are all free. Those with good results will get a bonus!"
Once he said this, the children instantly cheered again.
Looking at these simple children who were beaming with joy, the people around Hong Dali suddenly felt that sometimes, squandering was actually quite good …
